Things You Will Need
-
Determine where you wish to hang the chalkboard. Remove all obstacles, especially if a ladder or step stool is needed to reach the desired spot on the wall.
-
Use a stud finder to find studs in the wall. Screws will need to go into studs for the most stable hanging. This step may be skipped if the chalkboard is light enough to be hung with hanging tape.
-
Lift the chalkboard into place. Use a level to line up the board. Use a pencil to mark where the chalkboard should hang. If hanging with screws, mark the chalkboard where screws should be.
-
Pre-drill screw holes in the chalkboard. If you are using hanging tape, place tape on the back of the chalkboard. Do not remove the tape backing until the chalkboard is completely ready to hang.
-
Lift the chalkboard back into place. Press it firmly against wall if you are using tape. Use the pre-drilled holes to line up the screws and screw it into the wall.
