I dont know what you mean by "slotted" ?
I have pegboard on the wall behind my workbench, and Honestly, I dont use it. There is a shelf going across the top that I use for small parts and stuff, and I have a little small parts organizer mounted there. I think When we go to redo the workarea (soon) we will put up more pegbaod and actually use it.
If you have all the hooks and clamps fr it, then its great!

I use my pegboards (I have two up right now).
I would be even more confused without them.

I have the dark brown masonite pegboards. They work great for my needs. Although they contribute to the dark cave-like vibe I have working in there... I'm thinking of painting it or getting the white version. I use it for stuff that either doesn't fit in my tool boxes, or that I'd prefer to have "out"
Slatwall looks nicer, but I think you can't get as much stuff on it in the same area as pegboard due to the spacing of the slats/limitation of where hooks can go. If you have a good amount of room, slatwall is nicer aesthetically if you don't need the density.

I have been installing slatwall for a few years now and love the flexibility it offers. It offers you the flexibility to constantly change the layout of the hooks, shelves and anything else attached. I also feel it is hands down it will give you the cleanest appearance of any product on the market.

How about some pics of the slat wall because I have no idea what you guys are referring to.

check out my website at www.zengarageinc.com
the slatwall is a plastic wallboard that I usually install over drywall or studs. each panel is 8 feet long by 1 foot tall. They are tongue and groove and are layed on top of each other leaving a seamless appearance. Each board has approximately 4 slats(grooves). Hooks, cabinets, tool hangers, racks and more simply snap in and out of the grooves. In my garage I have cabinets full with 300 lbs of **** that can be slid down the entire wall. The only thing that is attached permanantly to the wall is the wallboard. Everything else snaps easily in/out of the wallboard.
Installation is pretty easy. The board can be cut with a circular, jig or miter saw. The boards are becoming more and more expensive every time we order, but if anyone is interested send me an email to [email protected] and I would be happy to get you pricing. The board is available in white, taupe and gray.

Thanks, Zen. I have seen similar walls in retail outlets but had never seen your stuff. VERY nice looking stuff.
How waterproof is the assembly? I mean - I know that plastic is waterproof but how about the installation? Could you use a hose to clean the walls for example?? Or would the slots fill up with water? Just curious.
I like the looks of your walls - very clean. Thanks for the post.

It is not terribly expensive. My wife opened the company a couple of years ago and I help her with the installations. If interested, send me an email and I could get you a quote. The beauty of this stuff is the durability and how easy it is to maintain. My entire garage is covered, floor to ceiling. I can literally take a hose or pressure washer to my walls and not ruin anything.
