Things You Need To Prepare:

Below are some of the tools you may need to hang your artwork:

  • Your metal sign
  • Hanging hardware
  • Stud finder
  • Screwdriver and/or drill
  • Wood screws or nails
  • Tape measure
  • Pencil

Did you get all the tools? Great! Bare with us just a few more steps and we’ll trust that you find the result satisfying. Before hanging the metal sign up, you need to take some following extra steps:

  • First of all, find a good spot that is suitable for your artwork (indoors or outdoors). We recommend you choose a large metal sign so that it will typically look great as a focal point and works best in the center of your room.
  • Measure the distance you want to hang your painting from the floor using a tape measure. The ideal height is about 140 cm off the ground. If you had to guess, display your artwork at eye level or just above. Using your pencil, indicate the location at the top where the artwork should go.
  • When hanging a metal sign, be careful not to let the metal sign be titled to the left or the right, but be balanced on both sides and horizontal to the ground. 

Extra steps before hanging metal sign on

Extra steps before hanging metal sign on

1. Choose A Hanger

Because metal signs are quite heavy, to ensure safety we need strong and heavy-duty hangers. The hanger must be sturdy to fix the metal sign on the wall, support the weight of the metal sign and prevent it from falling.

Hangers can be found everywhere, you can go to e-commerce platforms or go to hardware stores and ask for advice on the right hanger to hang metal signs. Be careful to choose a hanger because it can be life-threatening if unfortunately a metal sign falls on a family member's head.

2. Find Stud And Mark Where You Want To Hang

Because of the heavy metal sign, we recommend that you do not hang it directly on drywall or plaster could leave you with a torn or damaged wall. 

Studs run vertically within a wall and are a fundamental element in the wall’s frame and structure. To find a stud, turn on your stud finder and place it on the wall. When the light is on, that is the signal when the stud has been found. Mark it by pencil to select the exact location of the stud.

3. Stick The Hanger On And Hang Your Metal Sign

Using your screwdriver or drill, insert the screw into the wall precisely where you most recently indicated it. The screw you choose should be long enough, acceptable for the thickness of the metal sign, and appropriate for the hole you intend to drill. Then, firmly fasten your metal sign on the hanger, being cautious to think through and confirm before letting go.

A metal sign is effective in displaying everything in the most eye-catching way - colorful pictures and texts. Putting this up in a party gives off the impression of an stylish, out-going, open-minded household better than any other method.

Furthermore, they are extremely durable and long lasting. This means that you do not have to spend too much effort conserving a metal sign when you put them in positions where most other household items can not - an outdoor pool or in your front yard.
