How to Hang a Snowboard on a Wall – A DIY Guide
- To begin, gather your materials and decide where you want the board to be hung on the wall.
- The first actual step is to determine the board’s width.Once you’ve calculated the board’s width, you’ll need to measure its length and transfer that figure to the wall. You have to measure the width of your snowboard across the top where it is at its widest point. Mark two spots on your wall where the breadth is at its widest. Ensure that the points are across from one another by using the level screwdriver.
- Next, it is time to install the drywall anchors. Keep in mind that if you have removed the bindings from your board and are using drywall screws, you may not need to use any anchors. Take the screws and drive them through the exact center of your corks, rubber tips, or rubber grommets, then position the screw and stopper against the marked location on the wall and drive the screw through the anchor or drywall to complete the installation.
- Check to see that your anchor points are now level with one another,andthey are firmly embedded in the drywall. If they are not evenly spaced, you will have to start over.
- Now,add your board to your DIY rack. Liftup your board so that the bottom is over the mounted corks, tips, or grommets, and slide it down so that the widest part of your board catches on to the cork or rubber anchors.
- Well, you are done! The last step is to step back and admire how the addition of the snowboard changes how your walls look. You will be amazed how much a simple and cheap 20-minute DIY can add to your room’s look.
