Can Flow Wall Panels be installed into a Concrete Wall?

The answer is yes with just changing one thing on your part, the screws.  By picking up a concrete screw at your local hardware store you can easily install the panels into concrete.  Look for a screw with a hex head, this will lessen your chances of stripping the screw head as you go into the concrete.

Often these screws only come in the color blue.  For this pick up a small can of paint that you can paint the screw head when you are done installing the panel.  By making these small changes you are ready to install Flow Wall into any concrete wall.

1- Get down and dirty.  We all have a space in our life that becomes the dumping grounds most often this is our garage.  Well on this mission we are going to take it back.   All this requires is some good old fashion work.   Be sure to take a before picture, you will be amazed at what you have accomplished!

2- Plan out you space.  Look at what areas of the space will work best for what you want to get done with it.  Remember not only are you organize your things you are also maximizing your space.  To work out you need plenty of room.  The goal is to optimize your space.

3-decide what you are going to keep and the rest get rid of anyway possible.  Have a garage sale, donate it, give it to your neighbors do what ever you need to take back the space.  Once you do you can then focus on taking back the rest of your life by sweating it out on in your new gym!

My garage is a hodgepodge of pegboard, wall cabinets, self made shelving and screw in hooks. I have never really liked the pegbord for many reasons.

• It has warped over time and looks terrible.
• The hooks never stay in place.
• It doesn’t hold much weight.

Because of these things, I just stopped using all of this wall space for storage in my garage. It has just stayed there unused and looking bad for the last few years. I ran across Flowwall a couple weeks ago and thought I would give it a go. Today was the the 4^th, so I decided to take down that old pegboard and UPGRADE!

I ordered a panel pack and some random hooks.  Nothing too crazy to start. The wall panel went up really easily. I struck a level line and marked my stud locations. The first panel took the longest to go up because of this prep work. Once the first one was up, the remaining 5 went up very quickly. All in all the install took only 30 minutes. I loved the screw locating channels and how the screws just recess perfectly into the plastic. Really cool! Adding the end caps really gave it a finished look. This looks A LOT BETTER than that old pegboard.

The real fun began after the wall panel was up. I ordered a box of 4 inch and 8 inch hooks as well as a couple wide mouth hooks and a ladder hook. It took another 15 to 20 minutes to get it looking sweet! Now, the hooks don’t fall off if I breath on them the wrong way and the wall will never warp! My wife came out and gave me a big high five! She actually told me to order more!  I said, OK! I took the next 10 minutes to sit back and admire my new wall with my son. I can’t wait to add on!
