How to Hang a Skateboard on Your Wall (2026)
Show off a favorite deck or clear boards off the floor. Here's how to choose a mount, find a secure spot and hang it safely.
Display or Storage?
Decide what you want first. Display mounts hold a single deck (usually without trucks) to show off its graphic. Storage racks hold one or more complete boards to clear the floor. Both need a secure mounting point.

How to Hang a Skateboard
- Pick the spot: away from direct sun and moisture, which can fade graphics and warp decks.
- Find a stud with a stud finder, or choose anchors rated for the weight.
- Measure and mark using the mount's template or instructions; use a level.
- Drill pilot holes and install anchors if needed.
- Screw in the mount securely.
- Place the board and check it's stable.
What You'll Need
- Stud finder and level
- Drill with suitable bits
- Wall anchors rated for your wall type (drywall, plaster or masonry)
- Screwdriver and pencil
- Your chosen mount or rack
Wall Types
| Wall | Tip |
|---|---|
| Drywall over studs | Screw into studs, or use rated drywall anchors |
| Plaster | Drill slowly to avoid cracking; use plaster-suitable anchors |
| Brick or concrete | Use a masonry bit and masonry anchors |
No-Drill Options
Renters can use freestanding floor racks, over-the-door racks or a sturdy shelf to lean decks on. Adhesive hooks aren't reliable for completes, which are heavy and can fall.
Protecting Your Boards on the Wall
- Keep displays out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Avoid damp walls and spots near heaters.
- Dust decks occasionally; leave grip off collectible decks.

Yes, with a storage rack designed to hold boards with trucks and wheels.
Do I need to find a stud?
