Hanging Your Art/Sign

If hanging your wall art/sign on a drywall wall, start by considering the weight of your wall art/sign. If it weighs less than 10 lbs, you do not need to hit a stud or use a wall anchor. Simply just drive a screw into the wall. For additional strength, drive the screw into the wall at angle, like shown.

Masonry (brick, cinder block, etc.) and concrete walls behave differently than drywall. Masonry and concrete are both stronger compared to drywall, however, you can not simply drive a typical wood/drywall screw into masonry or concrete because the screw will either not go in, the local area of the wall will crumble, or both. Instead, when hanging on masonry or concrete, you will need to use a masonry/concrete screw. You will also need to drill a pilot hole using a masonry/concrete drill bit. (Often times, this special masonry/concrete drill bit will come in the pack along with the screws.) Once you have drilled a pilot hole using the masonry/concrete drill bit, you can then drive a screw into the hole. We recommend you use Tapcon (see below), the most popular brand for this type of product and can be found at almost any hardware store.
