What do you want to build?

Start with the space, material or task. We’ll propose the construction and components.

The packet proposes construction and purchasing details. Confirm the actual machine, fixing and hardware specifications before building.

What you need to get started

Available wall width and height and desired vertical spacing between tool rows.

What your plan includes

  • Wall rails and mating cleat blanks
  • 45-degree bevel and spacer guidance
  • Structural fixing and holder-retention checks

Are tool holders included?

The packet supplies mating cleat blanks and spacer strips. Design each actual holder or cradle around its tool, then check its fastening and anti-lift retention.

Can I use any wall anchors?

Fixings depend on the structural wall and intended loads. Locate suitable framing or assess the masonry and services; the planner does not assume plasterboard-only anchors or provide a universal load rating.
