32 in. x 48 in. Metal Pegboard Standard Tool Storage Kit with Black Pegboard and Black Peg Accessories

Thanks for the question! While we cannot address such specific questions site unseen, we can say that this certainly sounds like a reasonably solid installation. That said, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed handyman/contractor when attempting DIY projects for which there might be any doubt of security or stability. Thanks again!

Thanks for the question and yes, individual shelves can be ordered from Wall Control directly.

Hello and thanks for the question! The panels should have come with instructions, mounting screws, and drywall anchors. If they did not, you can email support (at) wallcontrol (dot) com and we can get some sent to you directly from our own warehouse. Installation is very simple, you just screw the panel directly into the wall or studs with the mounting screws and drywall anchors if going directly into drywall. Thanks!

It's pretty thick steel. You could probably cut it with a jigsaw with a fine tooth metal cutting blade. Go slow.

Hello Modchica and thanks for the question! The answer here would be yes and no, while the panels could be mounted horizontally and still be traditional "metal pegboard", none of the slotted accessories included in this particular kit would work with it. If you were interested in the horizontal / landscape orientation for only round 1/4" pegboard pegs then we would recommend either ordering Wall Control horizontal pegboard or simply ordering panels that do not include Wall Control's slotted accessories which require the panels to be oriented in the intended direction for us. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the question! Wall Control pegboard works great in the kitchen, in fact there is already a Kitchen Pegboard Kit to help you get started - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wall-Control-Kitchen-Pegboard-32-in-x-32-in-Metal-Peg-Board-Pantry-Organizer-Kitchen-Pot-Rack-White-Pegboard-and-White-Peg-Hooks-31-KTH-210-WW/307440250

Simple answer is no, it won't support the same amount of weight. BUT your question needs more perspective. I mounted mine in drywall because I needed more flexibility in positioning the panels. Each panel is secured with SIX screws and drywall anchors. My drywall is 1/2". Thicker drywall would also provide more "capacity". Also depends on what you're loading on to your panels. Mine is mostly hand tools. The heaviest stuff is my containers of hardware stacked on the shelves. No issues for load bearing capacity that I can tell. Getting too technical, typical center of gravity for most tools is snug up against the panel so most of the force is straight down, parallel with the panel. Long hooks or deep shelves would change the CG creating some torsional force against the anchors. Slamming tools onto hooks and shelves would also create some problem. Hanging 20 sledge hammers on your panel may or may not be a load problem. But that's just silly to abuse your cool new tool organization system ;)

Thanks for the question! Yes, you can buy Wall Control shelves separately, simply do a search for "Wall Control ASM-SH" and it should pull of several shelf options.
