metal bulletin board

Common overall sizes include 36" x 24", 48" x 36", 24" x 18", 41" x 29", 33" x 25", and 42" x 30".

Many boards include user accessories such as push pins and a mix of dry-erase pens, erasers, and magnets. Enclosed or wall-mounted models often also include keys and mounting hardware (screws and plastic anchors).

Many models use magnetic steel or aluminum surfaces (often marketed as magnetic whiteboards). Standard magnets, including common refrigerator magnets, will work on those magnetic boards.

Cork areas are often upgraded and reinforced to resist bulging and heavy pin use. Construction details vary by model but can include multiple corrugated-paper layers (e.g., 5 or 7 layers) plus a galvanized sheet, and some boards use a 9 mm thick fiberboard core for added durability.

Surfaces commonly use aluminum or other metal panels; some magnetic boards specify steel or aluminum magnetic surfaces. Frames may be metal (aluminum) or decorative real wood, depending on the model.

Many boards combine a magnetic whiteboard surface with cork sections and sometimes calendar or note areas. Magnetic/smooth surfaces are described as smooth and scratch-resistant for easy dry-erase use, while cork areas are intended for pinning photos, memos, and other materials.

Most metal bulletin boards are wall-mounted. Many are ready to hang with durable hanging wires for vertical or horizontal placement, and some models include mounting hardware such as screws and plastic anchors.
