Tips for turning your decks into wall-worthy art.

So, you’ve got your hands on a piece from THE SKATEROOM.
Maybe it’s a Warhol triptych. Maybe it’s Slawn’s chaos-in-motion.
Either way—it deserves better than a dusty corner.

Here’s how to make it gallery-ready.

1. 🛠️ Tools You’ll Need

Don’t worry—you won’t need a contractor.
Just grab:

A hammer
Measuring tape
Spirit level
Two hands (minimum)
Optional: drill and Phillips screwdriver (if you’re using our Snap Display)

2. 🧩 Hanging Methods (Pick Your Style)

✅ EasyFix Hanging System (included with all editions)

Simple, clean, nearly invisible.
Hammer in the small hook.
Attach the transparent nylon strap.
Slide the deck on. Done.

✅ SnapDisplay (sold separately)

Our premium display option.
Clean, luxurious, ideal for museum-like hanging.
Requires a drill & screwdriver—but only 30 seconds of work.

3. 📏 Positioning: Height, Spacing & Flow

General Rule:
Treat your deck like a framed artwork. That means eye-level (around 145–150cm / 57–59 inches from the floor to the center of the deck)

For Polyptychs (2–5 decks):

Space your nails or screws 21 cm / 8.27 inches apart. Make sure all your holes are aligned and level.
For EasyFix hangers: place nails 15 cm / 5.9 inches higher than SnapDisplay

Pro tip:
Lay everything out on the floor first. It helps you visualize spacing before making any holes.

4. 🌞 Light, Space & Mood

Your deck is wood. It breathes. So treat it like the artwork it is:

Keep it out of direct sunlight – UV rays can fade the colors
Avoid humidity extremes – Bathrooms are a no-go
Clean gently – Just use a soft cloth (no water or detergents)

Want to go full design mode? Try pairing your decks with concrete, exposed brick, gallery-white walls, or sleek bookshelves. Think of it as street meets minimalist interior design.

5. ➖ Go Horizontal?

You’ll need two SnapDisplays – one for each set of mounting holes, and a drill & screwdriver.

Measure and level – Place your board flat against the wall and mark where the two Snap Displays will go—typically near the nose and tail.
Drill or screw in the first Snap Display, ensuring it’s level. Then install the second Snap Display, aligned horizontally.
Snap it in – Squeeze each prong, align it with the deck’s bolt-holes, and press the deck until it locks into both displays—horizontal, floating, invisible.
