Put em up! |
There’s a moment in everyone’s life where they say to themselves, “Hey, why didn’t I think of that?” At Eduskate boardshop they have quite a few decks mounted on the shop walls in this fashion and it really is a great idea. I’m fairly confident I could put a deck on a wall like this in under a minute if there was reason to do so. The cost of mounting one deck, should be less than $0.25 doing this too.
Supplies:

A nail with a wide head and a zip tie. I chose releasable zip ties that can be reused and roofing nails. |
We’ll be mounting this deck vertically, but you can do this twice and mount a deck horizontally if you choose.
Step One: Nailing.

Hammer your nail into the wall where you want the deck to hang. It doesn’t HAVE to be on a stud but that would be ideal. (Keep in mind that the nail is where the top two truck holes will be.) |
Step Two: Deck Prep.

Loop the zip tie through with the lock on the grip side. |

Loop it back through the second hole. |

Tighten the tie so that it stays together, we’ll do more later. |
Step Three: Mount it.

Hook the loop around the nail head. Tighten the zip tie until it’s secure. |
Finished!
I can’t say enough good things about this. You can mount decks both vertically and horizontally, it’s incredibly easy to rearrange the decks and the cost is nearly nothing.
