STORAGE THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING OFF THE FLOOR
Slatwall panels installed without a plan produce a wall of hooks with nothing useful where it needs to be. Mint Garage designs the storage layout around your tools, gear, and seasonal equipment before a single panel is mounted.
Designing the Storage Layout First
The first step is understanding what needs to be stored. During the consultation we work through your tools, equipment, sports gear, and seasonal items — then assign zones on the wall plan before any product is specified. The layout determines the panel run, hook positions, and shelf heights so the finished wall is immediately useful.
SmartSlat Panel Installation
SmartSlat panels are mounted horizontally to the wall framing in continuous runs. Panels interlock cleanly so there are no visible gaps between rows. The surface accepts the full range of SmartSlat accessories — hooks, bins, shelves, and tool holders — and accessories can be repositioned or added later without tools or wall damage.
SmartSlat Panels and Accessories
The SmartSlat products below form the core of the wall storage system. Your designer specifies the panel count and accessory kit based on your wall dimensions and storage needs.
Hook Kits and Accessory Selection
Mint Garage supplies premium hook kits sized for different load categories — lightweight tools, medium gear, and heavy items like bikes and power equipment. Your designer selects the right hook types and positions them in the layout plan so the wall is ready to use immediately after installation.
Overhead Racks
Overhead storage can move seasonal and bulky items away from active work areas. Rack type and placement are selected around the garage structure, product-rated capacity, door movement, and vehicle clearances.
Wall Storage as Part of the Complete Renovation
Slatwall and overhead storage work best when they are planned alongside the cabinetry, flooring, and lighting at the design stage. A room where everything is coordinated — heights matched, zones defined, colours consistent — reads as a finished space rather than a collection of added components.
How It Comes Together
A calm, transparent process from first conversation to finished room.
Storage Inventory and Zone Planning
We work through what you need to store, how often you access it, and where it makes sense to position different categories within your garage.
Panel Run and Accessory Specification
Your designer specifies the panel run, hook kit, shelf heights, and overhead rack positions based on the storage layout agreed in step one.
Panel, Hook, and Rack Installation
The crew mounts the slatwall panels, attaches the hook kit to the layout, and installs the overhead racks. The system is ready to use when the crew leaves.

Common Questions
Straight answers about this service. If your question is not here, our design team is one message away.
Ask a questionPanels are mounted into wall framing. During the assessment we confirm stud locations and any blocking requirements before the installation is scheduled.
Hook kits are rated by load category. Your designer specifies the right hook types for each storage zone based on the weight of what you intend to hang.
Yes. SmartSlat accessories slide into the panel channels without tools and can be added, removed, or repositioned at any time.
Mounting requirements vary by rack and garage structure. We assess the proposed location and confirm the appropriate installation approach before ordering.
No — slatwall and overhead storage can be installed as a standalone scope. Many homeowners add cabinetry at a later stage once the wall storage is in place.
