How To Build A Snowboard Wall Mount

I built my own snowboard wall mount in about 20 minutes and here are the steps i took!


You need 3 wooden floor tiles. I have 5 just in case of an error. (Picked these up from Lowe's)

Measure ONE wooden tile halfway across and make a pencil mark.

Saw the ONE tile in half so you have two even pieces.

Take a half piece of the tile you just sawed, and place it on a whole tile piece as shown. (do this twice so you have two of what is in the picture)

With a nail gun, nail the half piece to the whole piece as shown. (Do this again with the other half piece you have and the other whole piece so you have two of what is in the picture above.)


Drill two holes so you can screw the mounts to the wall.




With some fabric and spray adhesive, cover your wooden blocks with fabric, this will prevent your board from being scratched! :)
You can see you will have some excess fabric.


Snip off as much excess fabric as you can so it looks nice!



Get out a level, a stud finder, and a drill, and put it in your wall! Mine isn't in my wall yet because i couldn't find a level lol. Hope this helps you!

Side notes: Make sure that your mount comes far enough off the wall so that your board will fit before you screw it into your wall!!!

goodness. Adam Smith would roll over in his grave if he saw this

Looks like a lot of work even though you said only took you 20 minutes. Nice work though.

it took him 20min because he had the necessary equipment like the sawer thing already. if u tried that yourself, via saw, it would take quite some time for that to be done. Good work though

Yeah, it cost me like 1.50

Nice. I'll post pics when mine is on the wall.

whoa, thats some color ya got there on those walls, like the incredible hulk exploded.

Seriously, nice boards, nice racks from everyone who posted. Giving me lots of good ideas.

That's awesome, simply and looks great, I'm going to start on one tonight!!

Yeah, I can see it's routed out, which makes sense, but I personally wouldn't trust a little glue to hold my board up.  Guess we'll have to wait and find out if/when he posts again.

Nice.  Gotta love that Gorilla Glue.  Stuff's crazy.  Ever used the Gorilla Tape?  Stuff kicks duct tape's ass.

I suppose if your board was super heavy or if you wanted to mount several on one vertical support (Plexiglas, or whatever) you could strengthen it by anchoring it to the base from behind.

For example, cut or drill a hole in the Plexiglas or other material a fraction of an inch from the rear edge. Then insert a dowel or bolt so that it sticks out on either side. Cut out a horizontal notch on the back of the board, perpendicular to a slot for the Plexiglas. Insert the vertical support in the slot from behind so that the dowel sits in the horizontal notch and glue that in place. That way the force is pushing on the back of the board instead of glue pulling from the front. It would take more time and work, but it would be very sturdy.

Where's the fun in that?

sweet......i may build mine tomorrow

Yeah... I don't think I would ever glue anything to my wall, especially with that stuff.

Strick, let us know how your build turns out.

Gnar, it sucks that you didn't have any leeway in choosing the distance between the mounts so that the bindings wouldn't interfere with centering the board. I actually had to avoid a stud by shifting one mount over an inch or so--metal studs. Anyway, I just used 6 drywall screws per mount. If you have a smaller surface area and cannot distribute the load as well, toggle bolts would still allow you to mount to the drywall instead of studs. I have my Bordz-Up mount attached with 2 of those.

I got little black rubber pegs that hold mine up. There awesome you can't even tell they are there.

Lol good attempt i guess...not sure if its a good thing on the the aesthetic area. I would recommended stabling the fabric instead of using glue, would probably look a lot cleaner.

This just gave me the idea to try this for my skis I will post the pictures once I am done thanks

Nice setup, cant wait to make my own.

Thanks for all this feedback guys :)

Just hung one of my boards on the wall, still need to do two more, but I have the first one horizontal on the wall, sitting on two ladder hanger L brackets. Seems to be working out, it seems a LITTLE flimsy so I'm keeping an eye on it...but I doubt my snowboard is heavier than a ladder.

Either way, I moved my guitar out of damage range just in case...

thats is sweet . i just throw my in the basement

I put my board in a corner too, really want a wall mount. Too sad i don't have any of the tools to make one my own but I guess i'll check out a hardware store
