Garage Slatwall Panels Get Started Kit — 1219mm Heavy Duty, Everything Included

Everything You Need in One Order — Panels, InstallStrips & Fasteners

The Get Started Kit takes the guesswork out of your first StoreWALL order. Instead of navigating three separate product pages to find the right panels, the matching InstallStrips, and the correct fasteners — and hoping you've ordered the right quantities — this kit puts everything in a single add-to-cart.

Same price as buying the components separately. No convenience premium. Just a simpler way to start.

What's in the Kit

The 4 InstallStrips included are exactly the right quantity for one carton of four 1.2m panels — one strip per panel. The fastener pack contains the required fasteners for fixing each InstallStrip to either a timber stud or masonry wall. Everything is matched and ready to install together.

Choose Your Colour at Checkout

The Heavy Duty kit is available in two colours — choose at checkout. Both are solid-core extruded PVC, so the colour runs throughout the material, not just on the surface.

• Brite White — Clean, bright white. Makes accessories easy to see against the wall. Note: white tone may vary slightly between production batches.
• Weathered Grey — Warm mid-grey with a painted surface finish. The painted finish is applied to eliminate the streaking that can occur during grey PVC extrusion, resulting in a smooth, consistent appearance.

Panel & Kit Specifications

How Much Wall Does This Kit Cover?

One Get Started Kit (4 panels) covers 1.85sqm of wall — approximately 1.2m wide × 1.5m high (one column of four panels stacked), or 2.4m wide × 0.75m high (two columns of two panels each). This is the right starting point for a dedicated section of wall — a tool zone, a heavy equipment area, or the beginning of a longer run.

For a full garage wall, most customers order multiple kits or combine this kit with additional plain panel cartons. As a rough guide:

• Single garage side wall (approx. 3.6m wide × 1.8m high): approx. 4–5 cartons
• Double garage back wall (approx. 5.4m wide × 2.0m high): approx. 6–7 cartons
• Use our Panel Calculator for an exact carton count based on your specific wall dimensions

Why InstallStrips Are Included — Not Optional

InstallStrips are the galvanised metal strips that mount to your wall studs first — the panels then click onto the strips. Including them in the kit isn't just convenience; it's the installation method we recommend for every Heavy Duty installation because:

• Weight capacity: InstallStrip installation gives you approximately 4× higher accessory weight ratings compared to face-screw installation through the panel
• Clean finish: no visible screw heads through the panel face
• Repositionability: panels installed on InstallStrips can be removed and rehung cleanly — face-screwed panels leave visible holes
• Security: load is distributed across multiple wall-stud contact points along each strip, not concentrated at individual screws

Installing without InstallStrips is possible but reduces all hook, shelf, and bracket weight capacities by approximately 75%. For any application involving bikes, ladders, heavy tools, or anything with real weight, InstallStrips are not optional in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the kit the same price as buying the panels and InstallStrips separately?

Yes — the Get Started Kit is priced the same as purchasing the four panels, four InstallStrips, and fasteners individually. There is no convenience markup. The kit exists purely to make your first order simpler — one product to find, one item to add to cart, and no risk of forgetting the InstallStrips or ordering the wrong fasteners.

Do I need anything else to complete my installation?

For a standard timber stud wall, no — the kit includes everything you need to install the panels. You'll also need an impact driver, a spirit level, and a pencil to mark your stud positions. If you're planning to add hooks, shelves, or brackets, those are purchased separately from the accessories range.

How many kits do I need for my garage?

One kit covers 1.85sqm (four 1.2m panels). For a sense of scale: a single column of four panels runs 1.2m wide and approximately 1.5m high. Most garages require multiple cartons for full wall coverage. Use the Panel Calculator to get an exact number based on your wall dimensions, or call us and we'll work it out with you.

What's the difference between Heavy Duty and Standard Duty panels?

Heavy Duty panels are thicker (17.7mm vs 16.7mm), taller per panel (381mm vs 304.8mm), and cover more wall per carton (1.85sqm vs 1.48sqm). They use Heavy Duty InstallStrips which are engineered for higher-load applications. If you're storing heavier items — large power tools, ladders, bikes, sporting equipment — or simply want the most robust system available, Heavy Duty is the right choice.
