This is an awesome thread. Can't believe I didn't stumble across it before. Here is my humble submission which is still a work in progress. I'll include progression pics. This was around Nov 2020 when I started finishing my basement:  Framed up and drywall started:  This is that same corner in February 2021 when I had the room framed up and electrical run and spray foam done (officially becoming the gun room):  Butcher block countertop that was to become my work bench:  Installing bench in the gun room (August 2021) (outlets are still crooked because reasons):  Making a homemade hidden door for the gun room:   Shelves for the gun room:   Used the same wall brackets and butcher block for my desk on the wall outside of the gun room, but with a stain:  Desk, finished, outside of the gun room:   Toolbox installed and reloading presses bolted down:  Current state, a bit messy, with this thread visible on the monitor outside:  Work in progress because I have a few outstanding things I've planned but not implemented: * wall storage system, cabinets, etc * homemade hidden door is sagging (big surprise) * electro/magnetic lock for hidden door (currently closes with a door closer) * additional safe or cabinet... maybe something small like a Securit Agile or something |

Because every workbench I've ever had ended up with a super sized power strip on it and I figured outlets beats power strip for getting power where I need across a workbench. I will probably do roughly the same when I build my shop, in the corner getting workbenches and toolboxes. |

They're nice! |

When I lived in Connecticut we had a home with an unfinished basement. I wanted to turn a small spot tucked between the stairs and the wall into a gun area.  I used plans I found on Lowe’s website to make a workbench in my garage and I did the same this time. I adjusted for a shorter, narrower design but it is a solid work surface.  There is a sewer pipe that I carefully worked around to make shelving and supports. I bought a cheap gun cabinet and using a concrete nail gun anchored the workbench and the cabinet to the basement walls in a couple of spots.  It’s hard to see but the wall of the stairway has pegboard for hanging small stuff.  I made the shelves just high enough for ammo cans.  To reduce shadows and make it easier to find what I drop I put some cheap strings of LEDs under the workbench and some of the shelves. |

Another vote for Menards slat wall! Very cheap compared to the other options that sell 4'x4' panels for ridiculous amounts............. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

| I only have the aluminum channels for my pistol holders, the rifles do not use them. The pistol holders I used required them, you could use different ones that don’t require them. |

Went with GallowTech. Did a trial mount up. Disappointed 2 of 4 panels came damaged when received. Over a month ago Gallowtech said they’d replace damaged parts but heard nothing since then. Will update if they ever follow through. Spent 2 hours reshaping bent steel with a pile of metal working tools I have to get it mountable. Powder coating was gone and damage occurred before they shipped. They shipped within double cardboard boxes which was undamaged when arrived. The war wall is still a work in progress and plan to order more Gallowtech stuff. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

With the latest Independence Day sale, I picked up a little more GallowTech. These 23” panels will finish off a wall. All mounts are their older style for vertical mounting. Attached File The 3 styles of their non-hybrid upper vertical mounts I have. Attached File |

Planning a complete remodeling with Gallowtech walls, but here's what I have for now. https://youtube.com/shorts/m2ADrmeOHZs?feature=shared |

Honestly I really don't like any of it, but at the time I completed the building, I was looking for a cheap solution to get some of the stuff on the walls. Grid wall panels from ULine were cheap enough for a temp solution. |

Got a bit more to print for hanging mags and a couple more horizontally. All together though it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than secureit or similar units. When I get to a more permanent location I’ll paint the backer plywood grey and built a shelf below for 50 cal cans.   |
I might change the horizontal mounts a bit so the guns sit perfectly level. But other wise it’s ready to go. Got room for a few additional handguns and suppressors I have planned. Overall the system works extremely well. I’m thoroughly satisfied with a 100% customizable system that I don’t have to pay crazy money for. Mag wall fills up fast. I can store my tupperwares of spare mags elsewhere and still have range mags ready to go. I’m gonna order some proper akro-mils bins as I think they will hold non-uniform mags better and more efficiently.

How you finished the seam between panels, etc.? My gun room, which is 10 x 15 is currently done in grid wall because it was cheap. I'm looking at options and considering slat wall, but I'm unsure how it will look finished based on the seams between panels. The other option is GallowTech, which I love, but the cost is way up there. |
Just finished building walls and insulating the forward portion of our high cub container storage unit. Also added a heater, so that's nice as well. Hope to finish out the entire thing this winter. No fancy wall systems here, just basic wood and it gets the job done. I am in here almost daily, so cheap and functional fits the bill (for now LOL).
