How to Hang Skateboard Decks Vertically on a Wall

Skateboarding is one of the most popular extreme sports in existence. A large following of passionate fans ranges from kids who are just beginning to learn how to ride a skateboard, to professional riders who get paid to showcase their talents. It does not matter how good you are at the sport, boards suffer from wear and tear, break, and eventually become inefficient for riding. As you get new skateboards, can hang your old decks on a wall. Even if you do not participate in the sport, you can still purchase and hang decks as a decoration style.

Instructions

    • 1

      Locate the truck holes on your skateboard deck. The truck of your skateboard is the axle to which the wheels are attached. These should already be removed, and only the deck should remain. The deck should still have truck holes in them. You will use the two truck holes that are side by side.

    • 2

      Twist a nut and bolt into each of the truck holes, so the bolts are not drilled all the way into the deck yet; twist them far enough in so they don't pop out too easily. The bolts should be visible on the side of the deck with the grip tape.

    • 3

      Cut about 1 foot of thin wire. Tie a double knot around the first bolt, then string the wire over to the second bolt and double-knot it around that one as well. Repeat this process, stringing the wire between bolts and double-knotting them.

    • 4

      Tighten the bolts all the way, so they are pressed snugly against the deck.

    • 5

      Choose a place on your wall to mount your deck. Place the nail against the wall and hammer it in about half way. The nail marks the center of your deck mount.

      Set the wire strung between the truck holes on top of the nail. The board hangs vertically, displaying the deck art.
