Best Bang for the Buck wall slate system

[Nessal]

I'm comparing a few brands of wall hanging systems and I keep coming back to the Gladiator brand. However, in order for me to cover what I want...the price is quite shocking. Does anyone have any recommendations of other comparable brands?

French cleat system made from standard plyboard is dirt cheap, but will require more labor on your part
