I just got a new trailer and working on getting it organized. I love the idea of the grid wall so that way I can move things around so if i decided I do not want something in that particular place.
How do you like yours? Any draw backs? Where did you buy your panels from? How did you get them mounted?
TIA!
Bump, anyone have advice for me?
I do not have a grid wall in my trailer dressing room, but I have maximized my wall space storage with collapsible tack hooks, utility hooks and a couple of over the door coat hooks. The dressing room has indents by the nose walls, and along the upper ceiling edges to hang hooks. These hooks have never slid/fallen once hung, but the location is easily changed.
A trip to Walmart kitchen section found some stackable wire baskets to hang on various hooks. Lowes/ Home Depot has hanging wire shelves that may fit in trailer dressing room. A plastic stacking three drawer bin set holds people drawer; horse medical drawer and finally tool kit drawer. Lowes provided the heavy duty rolling tool box that makes an awesome trailer tack box/step stool and chair.
You may want to use your trailer for a bit to get an idea of your flow of movement in and out of your dressing room so that you are sure of the location of your grid wall. You will want to know what you will routinely grab first and must be close by, and what can go higher or to the back wall.
If you have places that can take a hook of some kind, investing in a few with some baskets will help you decide how and where you will find permanent storage.
Wishing you many happy miles with your new trailer.
We are using those super strong magnetic hooks you can move where you want them and hang all kinds of stuff from them, even grid mesh for hanging other stuff:

We have those “rotating magnetic hooks” on the bottom.
They hold 65# and that is most anything anyone would want to hang from those.
We have blanket and bridle racks hooked on them, cinches on them, buckets, you name it.
What is nice, you don’t need to make holes to hang anything and you can move them around as your needs change.
Home Depot carries those and other models in our area.
It is a steel frame aluminum skin trailer. Not sure if magnets will work.
You would have to try them.
Our trailers are all steel and boy, do they stick there.
Forgot others have aluminum trailers.
One advantage of the grid, it will protect your trailer walls from banging stuff.
