		<description>Unless you really want the looks of the Rubbermaid rail kit, it&#039;s a LOT cheaper to buy a 2x4 (an 8&#039; is only $3), some 1/4&quot; x 4&quot; lag bolts (about 40 cents each with washers) and some hangers ($.50-$2 ea). The mounting difficulty is pretty much the same, but the cost is far, far less.

Note that the linked product above includes *no* hangers, just the rails (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://preview.tinyurl.com/244um8)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://preview.tinyurl.com/244um8)&lt;/a&gt; and hangers cost $7-9 each. I had looked at this system before deciding it was far too expensive for too little gain.

As for the pegboard -- I&#039;ve never had standard pegboard rip, even while hanging a trimmer, brush cutter, or other fairly heavy tools on it (ok, I didn&#039;t hang my maul though). And standard pegboard is $13 for a 4&#039;x8&#039; sheet (4x the size of that X2 stuff for 1/4 the cost). If you want metal pegboard there are other alternatives that are still cheaper than X2.
