Yeah I had a Phantom installed when I lived in California. It's a good product with a couple of caveats. It's like a roller shade mounted vertically instead of horizontally. When you pull it to close and latch it, keep the rigid piece parallel or plumb to the door frame. The top and bottom...

I'm setting up a small shop in my new (to me) garage. I've checked Home Depot and Walmart here in Arkansas and I can't find any Big Orange cleaner/degreaser. I did see some Zep Citrus product but I figured it was a knock-off and I stay with the real stuff. Tonight I googled Big Orange and...

I have a two-into-one exhaust system on my old BMW airhead. It's a black finish of some sort. It is looking a bit ratty so I'm contemplating having a hi-temp satin black coating put on. There's a franchised Jet Hot shop about 220 miles away and a Cerakote guy 20-30 miles away that does it as...

If your Guilia is like my old Giulietta, then the battery is in the trunk with a long cable run the length of the chassis. This arrangement works well in my wife's '01 325i but with what I remember about Italian wiring, is it possible you have a large resistance loss due to the length of the...

^^^^ what he said. I used to use drywall screws. They would countersink themselves in soft wood but they will snap off in seasoned studs. I initially mounted my pegboards to 1x2" frames with oval head phillips wood screws and countersunk washers. It looked OK but this time I fastened the...

I do agree that slatwall looks better but, unless I figured wrong, slatwall = $3.37 / sq. ft. and pegboard runs about $0.47 / sq. ft. plus the slatwall hangers seem expensive.

Thanks for the replies. I do like the colors of Wall Control. Cost is an issue for me. 1/4" pegboard = @ $15 for a 4x8' sheet. Also I need some non-standard sizes (4x6' and 4x3') so having the Depot cut them straight on their panel saw is a must. Slim:beer:

My moto-garage is shaping up. The Global Industrial steel shelving worked out nice (although a bit more than I wanted to pay). My 1' x 8' x 23/32" plywood shelves on Knape and Vogt brackets worked out nicely too. I'm at the point where I want to build tempered hardboard pegboards on the...

I guess we are talking about two different iterations of Gorilla Racks. Mine are pretty old. My original Gorilla Racks don't have the "Z" indentations of the Muscle Rack or the Edsals. They have a nice wrinkle finish and smooth shelf supports with metal front to back crossbraces under the...

Thought I'd bump this with a little review of the Global Industrial racks. I bought two of their #255684 Extra Heavy Duty Shelving 48"W x 18"D x 72"H With 5 Shelves, Wood Deck (actually particle board). These ship strapped on a wooden pallet with the slotted angle vertical uprights intact. By...

Having done the Home Depot Rustoleum system on my own 400 sq. ft garage I concur with most of the advice here. I think I ended up buying two kits. I scrubbed the floor with Simple Green and flushed the floor well with water afterward. It was bare concrete with no previous finish. I would say...

I like the look of Race Deck but I wonder about cleaning automotive fluid spills on it. On concrete I just use a little diluted Big Orange or Simple Green and I'm good to go.

No. As I am retired. Anybody bought from Menards recently? I looked online and all I saw listed were the usual Edsals and Muscle Racks. The nearest Menards is up near Branson somewhere but I don't want to make the drive to find out they don't stock them. Anybody got a link to their Gorilla...

At this point it looks like I might have to step up to the plate and spend $400 for two shelving racks. The units are very reasonable given the quality at $117/ea. but the shipping estimate was $109.45 + $45 for residential delivery. Ouch!

My Costco carried Whalen racks at a pretty good price but now I'm in NW Arkansas and Mr. Walton has seen to it that the nearest Costco is 82 miles away in Tulsa.:(

After 28 years in the same place,I bought a new (3 yr. old) house and moved the contents of my 2 car garage/workshop into it. The good news is that it has a three car garage with one slot divided by a wall from the other two. In my other space I had a real 48x18x60" Gorilla Rack in my office...
