Wall Grid

Storage that goes on the wall and stays there. Panels of teardrop holes, screwed into anchors; boxes, shelves, hooks and pockets that hook into any hole and lock tighter the more you load them, then lift straight off when you change your mind. Made in PETG, thick-walled, for the entryway, the workshop, the kids' room. Start with a kit, buy single pieces, or lay out your own wall — every piece is its own line at its own price.

Each panel is 16 × 16 cm. Panels butt together; four screws each.

Tap a piece to put it on the wall, then move it with the arrows or tap a cell on the plan below.

Engraved along the bottom of the bottom-left panel, between the holes, in the pieces' color. Up to 16 letters.

How it holds. The panel is 6 mm of PETG with an 8 × 8 grid of teardrop holes on a 20 mm pitch — the same shape a pallet-rack upright is punched with: a 12 mm round part, and a 7 mm slot below it. Each piece carries round-headed hooks. The head is smaller than the round part, so it goes straight through; the piece then drops 5 mm and hangs in the slot, where the head, wider than the slot, holds it. Just behind the neck the head has a 45° shoulder that beds into a matching chamfer round the slot's end, like a countersunk screw. The weight of the piece bears on that slope, and a slope turns weight into a force that pulls the piece into the board: load a bin and it grips harder, not looser. Below the head each hook has a solid, pointed foot that rides up a small ramp on the back of the board as the piece drops, then falls off its edge with a click you can feel: it tells you the piece is seated, and keeps it from creeping back up. The hook is solid and the ramp is part of the board, so nothing is a spring to wear out or snap off. Walls are 2.4 mm, hooks 6 mm, shelves carried on two gussets. PETG is tougher than PLA and shrugs off a warm garage.

Mounting it. The hooks need room behind the panel, so every panel is made with a 6 mm standoff on its back — a rim round the edge and a boss round each screw. Screw it up tight and the gap is already there; nothing to shim or space. Use #8 × 1½ in. pan-head screws with a ½ in. washer into wall anchors (or straight into a stud), four to a panel; each washer drops into a flat pocket, flush with the face, on a solid pad so no hole is lost to it.

Adding and changing. To hang a piece, put its hook heads through the round parts of the holes, push it flat and let it drop — it hangs in the slots and is locked. To take it down, lift it a few millimetres until the heads are back at the round parts and pull straight off. No tools, and nothing to force. To add a panel later, butt it against the last one, mark its four screw holes through the panel, move it aside, drill, and screw it up — the hole grid carries straight across the join, so a shelf or a box can straddle two panels.
