Know before you buy
You can install GearWall panels directly onto drywall, provided you are screwing them into the underlying wood studs for structural support. Mounting directly into drywall without stud backing will not provide the necessary weight capacity.
These panels are specifically engineered for use with the Gladiator accessory ecosystem. While other brands may have similar slot-wall designs, we recommend sticking to Gladiator-branded hooks and bins to ensure a secure fit and to maintain the specified weight capacity.
These panels are built from a durable composite material specifically designed to withstand extreme heat, cold, and humidity. They will not warp or degrade in the harsh conditions typically found in an uninsulated garage.
Each package includes panels that provide 16 linear feet of total coverage. Since each panel is 12 inches high, you can stack them to create a wall of storage that fits your specific needs.
The tongue-and-groove design is intended to make installation straightforward and fast. It helps the panels lock together seamlessly, ensuring they stay aligned as you mount them to your wall.
The 50 lbs. per square foot rating refers to the load capacity of the panel surface itself. When using accessories, ensure you are distributing the weight of your tools across the panel rather than concentrating it on a single point to remain within the safety limits.
