Panel Use Requirements

■ Intended for use in a garage or basement.

■ Maximum weight limit is 50 lbs per sq ft (2.39 kPa).

NOTE: Before installing GearWall

Panels to basement walls, you

must waterproof the basement to avoid mildew and foundation

damage. Walls that appear dry may actually become damp when

enclosed by paneling. Install the panels in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

Screw Requirements

Screws must be placed in every slot at every wooden stud location.

For bare wooden studs: Use #8 – 1¹⁄₄" exterior deck screw (flat-head

type) treated for outdoor use only for locations where a firewall is not

required by local codes and ordinances.

For covered walls: Use #8 exterior deck screw (flat-head type)

treated for outdoor use. Determine the screw length needed from the

chart as indicated.

IMPORTANT: Compare screw length to electrical wire locations. Be

sure the screw will not pierce electrical wiring.

Panel Location Requirements

You can cover a full wall or part of a wall with the panels. If the wall is

wider than the 4 ft (1.22 m) panel, you will need to stagger the vertical

panel joints in each row with the seams at the wooden studs, as

shown.
