Wall Control

Wall Control is essentially high end pegboard.  It looks nice and is useful for storing accessories.  It is not cheap.

In the garage, I could install at 16" wide x 32" tall panel to store barbell clamps (OSO/QuickLee) and some pull up accessories (Cannonball/Grandfather Clock).  It would not be worth the cost of the items in question ($47).
  • 32in x 16in board - $25-$30
  • Medium Slotted Hook (4) Pack 1-7/8" reach - $5 - each would hold (1) OSO Collar
  • Medium Slotted Hook (4) Pack 2-7/8" reach - $6 - each would hold (1) Quick-Lee Collar
  • Curved Tip Slotted Pegboard Hook (4) Pack 3-1/2" reach - $6 - each would hold cannonball or grandfather grips
In the basement, it gets a little more interesting.  I have the room for (2) 16" wide x 32" tall panels and have more stuff to store including grip implements, loading pins, barbell clamps, pull-up accessories ($95)
  • (2) 32in x 16in boards - $50-$60
  • Medium Slotted Hook (4) Pack 2-7/8" reach - $6 - each would hold (1) Lock Jaw Collar
  • (3) Curved Tip Slotted Pegboard Hook (4) Pack 3-1/2" reach - $6 - each would hold cannonball or pinch grips, Crusher, Jug, Finnish Ball, IronMind Block, IronMind Hub, Loading Pins
  • U-Shaped Slotted Pegboard Hook (2) Pack - 4" reach - $6 - For IronMind wrist roller
  • Medium Slotted Hook (4) Pack - 1-7/8" reach - $5 - For 1 inch clamps
When I look at the numbers and what I would be storing, it is a tough sell.  But $100 with free shipping is not the end of the world to get stuff off of tables, shelves, bins.

UPDATE 1/22/2024 - Looking into this further, the starting point really should be mounting the 2x4 to concrete.

Phase 1:
Hammer Drill - $40 Harbor Freight
Tapcon Screws - $30 Lowe'
2x4 - $10 Lowe's

Phase 2:
Wall Control 2 Pack - $51 Amazon

Phase 3:

Hook Assortment: $51 Amazon

$181 little project that does not add any functionality.
