Rail systems
A different type of wall storage uses rails rather than panels, but shares traits of the other panel types. This system uses a vertical rail mounted securely into wall studs, from which vertical slotted metal strips can be hung anywhere along the rail length. Shelves, baskets, small cabinets, and a variety of hangers and hooks snap into the vertical strips.

Rails, slotted strips, brackets, and hooks range from $2.50 to $12. De-pending on size, cabinets and shelving units matched to the rails range from $60 to $150.
