MagPanel is Better than Cork (and now Dry-Erase!)
Our MagPanel® is a whole lot better than cork board. The beautiful metal surface strongly attracts any magnet. No sharp pins and tacks to get pricked by so it’s great for kid’s rooms. And no poking holes into documents. Why ruin your little child’s prized drawing or that important Sales Chart with unsightly thumb tack holes when you can use magnets to hang it instead? MagPanel® can serve a variety of purposes; use as a personal organizer, use for presentations, use as a bulletin board, and even as a teaching aid. It can be mounted on the wall, placed on an easel, or just propped up against the wall (if attached to rigid backing first). And now, MagPanel also works with both Dry-Erase Markers and Wet-Erase Markers. The product is easy to clean and needs minimal maintenance. MagPanel® is crafted from real commercial grade metals. Use our Galvanized Steel or Brushed Stainless Steel as a great modern & sleek accent to any contemporary space or use one of our great colors to add warmth to any room. MagPanel® is very low profile - it only protrudes 1/32" from the wall so no framing is needed. Perfect for the kitchen, office, kid’s room and more.
For additional storage & organization functionality, consider our Magnetic Pegboards.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What's my shipping cost?
2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, 3x4 and 4x4 sizes ship via FedEx Ground (most economical). All larger sizes ship on a pallet via Motor Freight (starting at $120+). To save on shipping, consider using smaller panels and tiling them together on the wall to create a larger panel. To get your actual shipping cost, add the item to your cart.
Can I get a custom size?
Yes, we can make any custom size you would like! Just click on the FAQ link that your pointer is currently hovering on, and you'll automatically be taken down to the "Custom Size Ordering Section" on this webpage.
How do I cut it?
This product can be cut with a jig saw, circular saw or radial saw. Use a blade designed to cut sheet metal (a fine tooth blade). For cutting stainless steel or for cutting larger quantities, consider using a carbide-tipped fine tooth blade.
Will the screw heads match the color of the MagPanel?
We sell optional screw caps that will match your MagPanel color.
How do I attach fabric, wallpaper, or graphics to the MagPanel?
Attaching on your own fabric, wallpaper or graphic onto the MagPanel is a great way to customize it’s appearance: 1. Use a spray adhesive to attach your material to the MagPanel. There are many types of spray adhesives, such as 3M brand. Consult your local fabric store, craft store or hardware store for the best spray adhesive recommended for the material you are attaching. 2. Try to use the thinnest material you can. The thicker the material, the more the magnetic holding strength will be reduced. Generally speaking most people don’t notice much of a magnetic strength reduction with typical thin materials. 3. To mount onto your wall, either poke the mounting screws thru the material and use the mounting holes of the MagPanel OR attach the MagPanel to the wall using a construction adhesive (like Liquid Nails brand).
Is the panel itself magnetized?
MagPanel® is not a magnet itself. It is a surface onto which magnets will stick.
How do I put a frame around it?
Screw the MagPanel® to your wall as you would normally. Find a wood molding that you like – such as corner round, chair rail, etc - typically found at your local hardware store. Miter cut the molding to size. Nail the molding to the wall so it covers the edge of the MagPanel®. When done, you will have a beautifully framed surface for holding magnets.
Can I get it without mounting holes?
Yes, of course. Please place your order by phone at 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR) and request your MagPanel without mounting holes. You may also request to eliminate the rounded corners and have square corners instead.
Can I get it with square corners?
Yes, of course. Please place your order by phone at 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR) and request your MagPanel with square corners. You may also request to omit the mounting holes as well.
Do I need to screw into studs?
You do NOT need to screw your MagPanel® into studs. The product is relatively lightweight and is engineered to be directly screwed into dry wall. We provide mounting holes approximately every 12" around the periphery of the board. Use the screws that are included to attach to your wall - no anchors or studs needed.
What's the difference between Wet-Erase and Dry-Erase?
The difference lies in the type of ink used in the markers. Wet-Erase markers will work on all of our MagPanels, even on the MagPanel type called "Dry-Erase". Wet-Erase markers can be wiped away with a damp cloth. Dry-Erase markers will only work on the type of MagPanel which is called "Dry-Erase". Dry-Erase markers can only be wiped away with a special dry-erase Eraser.
Can it be propped up against a wall?
As it comes in the box, it needs to be mounted to a wall because the product has some flex. To prop it up against a wall, first mount it to a rigid material such as foam board or thin plywood. For a cleaner appearance, you can order your MagPanel without mounting holes by placing your order by phone 1.888.98DGEAR (983.4327) EST.

I give your company a five for your service and product. I tried many other boards for my stainless steel refrigerator. Nothing worked until I found you. Adheres beautifully and was easy to apply. Thank you for making my life a bit easier.

The product was easy to install.

I am totally enjoying my 16"x24" MagBoard! I totally rate it a full 5! I like it so much I will be ordering a second one just like it. I appreciate the fine craftsmanship of this piece and how easy it was to hang and how it is so flat to the wall. And my magnets love it and hold my artwork so easily and cleanly. My only slight "dis-ease" is that I wish the shipping costs weren't quite so high, but on the other hand, the board arrived totally intact and perfect. So I think it was worth the price of all of it. One of the main reasons I decided to buy your product over others was comments that their magnetic board came "bunged up" and they had to return it and it even happened a second time. So I decided I'd rather have it come in perfect condition and pay a bit extra for the care that went into the packaging and mailing of it. And I wasn't disappointed! I've attached a photo of how I'm using my board -- to display the current artwork I'm working on so I can enjoy it before it gets put in the pile! And that's why I'll be ordering another so I can look at more art at one time. Thank you for all your great customer service and wonderful products.

5 stars. Love this product! Hoping it doesn't fall off the wall but we used the command strips as instructed (for both that I purchase) for our kids bedrooms so they can hang up artwork, pictures, etc. I love them because they are slim and not a bulky white board. It looks like it's part of the wall. It's well made and was shipped with care and great instructions!

My son loves his magnet board, and we were happy with all aspects of our purchase. Even the shipping material cardboard was upcycled into an "award-winning" Halloween costume! We may be ordering another in the future - thanks so much!

5 stars! Great product, fast & helpful samples. Packaging for shipment could be better as there were minor dings and bends on some corners. Fortunately, these were easy enough to get out.
