Wall Panel 84A Oak 03: pack coverage, slat spacing and fit
This guide is about
Wall Panel 84A - Oak 03 - Outdoor - 240cm - (1 pack / 12pcs)
Wall Panel 84A in Oak 03 is an outdoor composite slat panel sold by the pack: twelve pieces, each listed at 16 x 240 x 1cm, covering 4.61m² a pack. Every figure below is read off that listing. Where the listing is silent, this post says so rather than filling the gap.
Where the 4.61m² actually comes from
Twelve panels 16cm wide and 240cm long come to 4.608m², which is the published 4.61m² rounded. That arithmetic is worth doing, because it settles which number in the dimension string is which: the 16 is the width across the face, the 240 is the length, and the 1cm is the thickness. Nothing on the listing labels them, so confirm it with the shop if your setting out depends on it.
From there the planning is simple. Divide your wall width in centimetres by 16 for the number of panels, then by twelve for packs, and round up.
| Packs | Panels | Width covered | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 1.92m | 4.61m² |
| 2 | 24 | 3.84m | 9.22m² |
| 3 | 36 | 5.76m | 13.83m² |
| 4 | 48 | 7.68m | 18.44m² |
The width column assumes the panels sit edge to edge at their full 16cm. If they overlap at all, every figure in it drops, which is the next thing to check.
The one question to ask before you order
Other packs in this range are explicit about losing width at the join. The 290cm 87 panels are listed at 14.7cm overall and 13.5cm once fitted and interlocked, and the 89 panels quote their 16cm as the fitted figure. The 84 listing uses neither phrase. So ask how the long edges of an 84 panel meet before you commit to a run length, and whether the 16cm is the face width or the covered width. On a short return it will not matter. Across a five metre boundary it decides whether you need a fourth pack.
Slat width, gap and the repeat
The face is textured in slats: 2.4cm wide with a 1.4cm space between them, giving a 3.8cm repeat. On a 16cm panel that is a little over four repeats, but the listing does not state how many slats each panel carries, so count them off the photographs on the 84A product page rather than from the maths. The practical point is the shadow line: a 1.4cm gap reads strongly in low sun and almost disappears at midday, and Oak 03 has enough tone in it to show that movement.
What the listing claims, and what it leaves out
It describes an engineered composite made for outdoor use, calls the panels UV resistant, and says the construction resists fading, warping and moisture damage. No test standard, colour-fastness figure or fire rating is quoted against any of that, and the panel weight is not published either. If you are panelling anything that needs a specification on paper, ask the shop for the manufacturer sheet before ordering.
Trim, brackets and the other oak options
The listing names two companion items: Wall Panel 84 Trim at 240cm, and Bracket For Outdoor Panels in a pack of fifty, which it recommends for installation. Both are listed as separate products rather than pack contents, so confirm what arrives in the box. Both sit in outdoor trims and fittings.
If 240cm is the wrong length, Wall Panel 92A in Oak is the other 240cm twelve-piece oak pack, and Wall Panel 87A in Oak 03 takes the same finish name to 290cm in packs of six. For a cooler scheme, Wall Panel 84B in Grey is the identical pack in grey. The full range sits under outdoor wall panels.
Measure, add a panel for cutting waste, then order the whole wall in one go so the batch matches. Delivery is free within 50 miles of our Glasgow store and £50 beyond it.
