Questions & Answers
You don't want to use any of the holes? You could buy two mounts and screw them in the wall vertically if you wanted to mount laterally. Then screw into the holes on the top and bottom of your skateboard.
I use a standard skateboard deck to hang it because that is what it was designed for. The deck protrudes from the wall slightly, putting pressure on the screws. The mount will be put under more stress as you get further away. Maybe it could take the same amount of weight as a long board? If I were to try it, I'd probably mount two (top and bottom). In conclusion, I wouldn't go beyond a standard deck (personally). I hope this has been of assistance.
It is not necessary to drill it into a stud; it can be drilled through a regular wall without difficulty.
I'm not sure if I had it installed by a contractor. The brackets, on the other hand, are fantastic; I used two per board on a wall with ten. It was the ideal bracket for the task at hand- gabe watt

I decided to use the 3m strips to hold it up because it appeared to have a flat back. I bought a second hanger for the bottom of the board for added support, and I used two strips of 3m tape (the large size that can hold 16 lbs) on each hanger for a total of four strips. It's been hanging for three days with no sign of falling! If I had my own place, I would have drilled it into the wall, but I think the 3m strips work well with this hanger as a temporary solution.
) Edit: I wanted to make sure that credit was given where credit was due. If you bend the screws a little, the mount works perfectly. It drove me insane because I'm a perfectionist, but from what I've seen, the mount is about as good as it gets. According to the seller, the mount is laser drilled, so the screws may have been bent during shipping. However, I believe the mount to be incorrect. I'm not knocking it, but could the angles in the software be adjusted? Original: br>br>Original: br>br>Original: br>br>Orig I'm a little disappointed. I looked at several skateboard mounts before settling on Skateptych because of its simplicity. I figured it would look good against the wall. The holes for the two long mounting screws aren't drilled straight, which is a bit of a pain. Despite the fact that the screws themselves are straight, the pre-drilled holes are crooked. The screw holes in the drilled holes are not aligned. This perspective is clearly heightened as you move further away - It's become unusable as a result of this.
These were extremely useful. My daughter likes to paint skateboards and wanted to display them in her room. I was about to come up with a way to hang them when I came across these. These were ideal because they supported the weight and looked great. The most difficult part was evenly spacing them on the wall because her art was on three skateboards. You can also adjust the distance between the skateboards and the wall, which is fantastic.
This is merely a passable deck hanger. To improve it, I would have used shorter boots so that the deck could be pressed against the wall for added support, as well as adding washers to the back of the deck for added support, and possibly using two of these brackets. It'll rip right out of the wall right now. The deck is simply suspended from these long bolts, but the install screw is extremely short; if you can find a better one, go for it. If you purchase this, I recommend going to a hardware store to improve it.
Because the machined holes that hold the screws that mount to the actual board aren't machined at a perfect 90-degree angle, the board will be crooked if you mount it level. It's also shaky and doesn't keep the board's bottom from slamming against the wall. Although the concept is sound and the price is reasonable, the execution is lacking. br>br>Correctly machined holes, as well as some sort of sleeve or shaft on the screws that come into contact with the board, are required to keep it level, wobble-free, and plumb and vertically aligned. br>br>It wasn't bad enough to return, but it wasn't what I was expecting.
I hung up my prized autographed Tony Hawk skateboard right next to the rest of my collection because the product does the job for a very reasonable price.
To make putting the long bolts through easier, use a short screwdriver. Bolts will heat up as you screw them in, so proceed with caution. I did use a heavier duty drywall anchor instead of the one that came with the kit, but that was purely a personal preference and not because the one they sent failed. So far, everything is going well, and it looks great while not detracting from the board on which it is hung.
They need to figure out a better way to secure the main screws on the hanger's back. When I was using a Phillips head, it took about 10 minutes per pop after I stopped to take a break. It's a pain, especially for a girl who doesn't do a lot of manual labor. In any case, my skateboard decks are rad.
