ITHK's Frag Cellar

Thanks! I have made a lot of improvements from when it all started and I am very happy with how things are turning out.

All the updates to your system look amazing ;) I wish I could have done some of the same ideas ! Lol
 
Awesome build- thanks for sharing.

Is that FRP on the ceiling? Good idea if so

Thanks! I should probably update it sometime soon....

The panels on the wall and ceiling are actually melamine panels. I wanted to do FRP but I found melamine panels at a quarter the cost and as long as the coating doesn't get scratched they will do the same thing. They are also stiffer so I didn't need to install a backing board first also.

Aren’t those panels super heavy? I have a sheet of 3/4 inch thick I used fir a desk project and I think it gave me a hernia...

For my own project, I was thinking 1/2 inch plywood (or OSB) painted with a couple coats of kilz and latex paint. That way I can hang stuff off walls (conduit boxes, plumbing mounts, shelves) anywhere without having to hit a stud.

These panels are around 3/16" thick so they are not too heavy.

The 1/2" thick plywood is a good idea as well if you wanted to hang stuff wherever.
