We use slatwall as the base for our garage wall storage systems in Phoenix. The garage slatwall is anchored directly to the walls, so they are strong enough to hold the weight of whatever the cabinets, hooks, and baskets will contain without risk of failure. The grooves of the slatwall panels mean that the hooks, shelfs, and cabinets that attach can be move around and reorganized anytime you require. This is handy for people in Phoenix who have seasonal equipment and changing needs.
