ALLIGATORBOARD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ALLIGATORBOARD from 3G Electric.
What peg hole size do ALLIGATORBOARD round-hole pegboard panels and strips use?
ALLIGATORBOARD round-hole pegboard panels and strips in this line use a 1/4-inch round peg hole pattern. For example, the 16 in x 30 in x 5/8 in stainless steel panel and the 3 in x 30 in x 5/8 in steel strip both specify 1/4-inch peg holes. This is a common pegboard hole size, so standard 1/4-inch peg hooks and accessories can be used with these panels and strips. When specifying, confirm the hole size on the specific SKU, because the catalog includes multiple panel and strip formats. The 1/4-inch dimension refers to the hole diameter, not the spacing between holes.
What sizes of ALLIGATORBOARD shelves for round-hole pegboard are available?
The ALLIGATORBOARD shelf range includes steel shelves in several lengths and depths. Lengths in the catalog include 16 in, 32 in, and 48 in. Depths include 3 in and 5 in. All listed shelves have a 5 in height. Representative part numbers include ALGSHELF3X16GALV, ALGSHELF5X16GALV, ALGSHELF3X32GALV, ALGSHELF5X32GALV, ALGSHELF3X48GALV, and ALGSHELF5X48GALV. The first number in the part number indicates depth and the second indicates length, so ALGSHELF3X48GALV is a 3 in deep by 48 in long shelf. These shelves are designed for use with round-hole pegboard and have a zinc-plated finish.
What material and finish are ALLIGATORBOARD shelves and pegboard strips made from?
ALLIGATORBOARD shelves and pegboard strips in this catalog are made of steel with a zinc-plated finish. The shelves are listed as silver, and the strips are listed as gray, both with zinc plating. Zinc plating provides corrosion protection for indoor use. The pegboard panels are available in stainless steel, as shown by the 16 in x 30 in x 5/8 in panel SKU. Stainless steel is a different material choice than the zinc-plated steel used for shelves and strips. When selecting, match the material and finish to the environment and to the existing pegboard system. Confirm the specific SKU's material and finish before ordering.
Do ALLIGATORBOARD pegboard panels and strips include mounting hardware?
Some ALLIGATORBOARD pegboard items include mounting hardware, and some include screws. The 3 in x 30 in x 5/8 in round-hole pegboard strip (ALGSTRP3X32GALV) is listed as including mounting hardware. The 16 in x 30 in x 5/8 in stainless steel round-hole pegboard panel is listed as including screws. Inclusion can vary by SKU, so check the individual product data before ordering. If a specific installation requires particular fasteners for the wall or backing material, those may need to be sourced separately. The included hardware is intended for mounting the panel or strip to a suitable surface.
Can ALLIGATORBOARD shelves be used with any round-hole pegboard, or only ALLIGATORBOARD panels?
ALLIGATORBOARD shelves are designed for use with round-hole pegboard. The catalog describes them as shelves for round-hole pegboard, and they are part of the ALLIGATORBOARD pegboard system. They are intended to fit 1/4-inch round-hole pegboard, which is a standard format. In practice, they can be used with round-hole pegboard that has the same 1/4-inch hole size and compatible hole spacing, but the safest approach is to use them with ALLIGATORBOARD panels and strips to ensure fit. If you are matching to an existing pegboard wall, verify the hole diameter and spacing before specifying shelves. The shelves mount to the pegboard and provide a flat storage surface.
How does 3G Electric supply ALLIGATORBOARD pegboard components?

The catalog includes multiple sizes and materials, such as 16 in, 32 in, and 48 in shelves, 3 in x 30 in strips, and 16 in x 30 in panels. Each item is identified by manufacturer part number, which allows cross-referencing with existing systems or planned layouts. 3G Electric provides product data and logistics coordination for orders shipped worldwide. For procurement, you can request a quote for specific SKUs and quantities. 3G Electric does not manufacture these items; it distributes the ALLIGATORBOARD line and supports order handling and shipping.
