How hard is it to mount on white boards? Worried about getting the lines to be completely straight and I am making a grid with 12 x 35 lines.

I used it to make calendars on white boards and it was very easy to use and and has held up very well. It has been on out boards for 2 years and atill looks good.

It's easy. Just mark where you want the ends of the tape on both sides. Stick the end of the tape firmly on one end, then unroll and stretch it across before pressing it down. It might help to have someone hold the other end down if you have a long way to go across.

Not the easiest but possible. I used it on a white board that was about 4' x 8' ish, 20 horizontal lines x 5 vertical. The biggest challenge I had was the rolls don't span the width of the board.

It's very easy so long as you use a yard stick or tape measure to carefully mark horizontal and vertical lines that are spaced evenly on the left-right and top-bottom. Then just stick one end of the tape to a mark one side and unroll to the corresponding mark on the other. This way you can make perfectly straight lines and partitions.

You can attach the board to the top using several heavy duty staples. I did not do this as I don't have much room above. My concern is that these top flanges do not extend out very far and I think that you would create a moment if you weight the board edge. Therefore, I think that the answer is partly because you don't see the board ends. They must mount this board on the ends.

This map was delivered in 3 sheets and is made to mount to a flat hard surface - like wallpaper. If you want to frame it you will need to first mount the map onto a very large flat board or boards. Then these boards will have to be laid up next to each other and bonded. I think you could use crown molding to frame it but you may have to do something to keep the boards the map is mounted to from sagging outward. Consult a professional framer and see how they would do this.

Its pretty heavy, I hung mine using poster strips and it took about 30 strips per panel, and so three panels used quite a few, also you would probably have to use magnets more than just around the edges scattered over the whole thing. A better idea may be to mount the three panels on a huge piece of cardboard or plywood and prop it against the wall or up on a table or bookshelf

Nope. I mounted it on a medium sized easel that had a chalkboard backing and it turned out great. Biggest issue may be air bubbles, but it should be okay if you mount it carefully.

Yes!! I did it like this, I held my boards up where I wanted to put them with the bottom bracket held on the wall with my hand ). Slightly off center in the waist of the board worked best( I did this solo but if someone was there to help it would have been easier) I marked around the outside of the bracket with a pencil, you cant just mark the holes because the board covers them, I installed it to the wall, put the board up on the now mounted bracket and just experimented where along the top the best pivot point was and did the same thing again. Theyve been up there for months and ive taken them down and put them back a few times this season and they work great.I wish I could attach a picture of them lol Yes!!

unfortunately i cannot answer your questions with certainty. This was a very difficult board to mount with how the mounting is designed. It was further complicated by the fact that we placed it in a narrow passage area where the footprint was really small. Basically, we laughed that once we got this up, it would never come down. A bit heavy too. Amazon returns are good and easy so you could see for your purpose.

I mounted a 1x6 to the ceiling (white to match), making sure it was hitting studs, then just used wood screws for the hoist points. Doing that will also allow you to more easily measure where the hoists go by measuring prior to mounting the board to the ceiling (I figured this out afterward).

To insure strength and stability of the mount it is essential to have a solid mount. Simply mounting to drywall with anchors will not provide this. Depending on where you want to center the mount this may not be possible. A suggestion would be to attach a board across two adjoining wall studs and then anchoring the mount to the board. Not as "pretty" but it will be effective.

Yes, if your white board has a metal backing - the unit has a built in magnet; also, you can simply use double sided tape as the unit can lay flat.

It's very easy -- there are two small plastic fasteners that you use to mount the board. The fasteners are nicely designed -- you can adjust them up/down accordingly, without putting new holes in the wall, to adjust the board to make sure that it's level. To mount the fasteners, you need to use one screw (per fastener). The board comes with the screws, as well as the "plugs" that you would use if you mount the board into normal wallboard. BTW, this is a very high quality board -- the cork is very dense, and deep enough that I can push my push pins in all of the way without bottoming out. Much higher quality than some of the other inexpensive boards on Amazon....

I just put three of them up on textured walls and they keep falling down. I lined the edges with painters tape as others have recommended and that keeps coming off with the whiteboard. Im thinking i may just have to use masking tape on the edges or something else more sticky.

Hi Rosemary,I will depend on the mounting surface, If you are mounting it to wood with nails or screws it should not be a problem. If it is to brick if you want the same result as wood you have to make sure the brick nails are as straight and as close to the brick surface as possible. I hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response.

We mounted ours on 2x4s because it didn't quite align with our studs, so it sticks out a bit more, but if you can mount it directly on the wall, it only sticks out a couple of inches. In terms of how noticeable it would be, I think it depends on your wall color. Ours is on a dark wall, so it's very noticeable. On a white wall, it would be fairly unobtrusive. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's not designed for food, so the materials may not be food safe.

I use this on white boards to form boxes for different projects. I have not used it outside. Sorry I could not offer more information.

There are lots of holes to choose from to mount. No certain spacing required. For example, the rod (the main part) is larger than the board (only 11") I mounted it on. You should have no problem getting it to work. I love it!

You could mount a 1x2 on top of you board that you have. If the hooks arnt wide enough. That would be a option. Not sure why it dosnt work for you.
