- dsaavy 7y agoI put up a giant wall of these in my home and they're incredibly useful. You can build any type of contraption and throw a cleat on the back of it and boom, just put it on the big wall. Reconfigure it every month, build new things to mount up there, it truly is simple and versatile. French cleats truly are terrific.
- williamdclt 7y agoI like the idea. It's a bit invasive, but if you don't mind would you share a photo of what this wall looks like?

- justinator 7y agoWe used them a lot when hanging up art work.
- Cogito 7y agoYeah it sounds a lot like a picture rail[0], the main difference is that the picture rail runs around the whole wall while this is more specific. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(decorative)#Picture_rail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(decorative)#Picture_r...
- zimpenfish 7y agoI probably wouldn't have known if I hadn't wandered into woodworking YouTube - it's a common device for workshop walls, etc., for easily switchable configurations of shelves and whatnots[1].
