Hanging Corkboard In Drywall

  
  
  

drywall corkboardHanging a corkboard in drywall isn’t difficult. Corkboard is very light and is typically used to hang papers or pictures on, so it shouldn’t need to support a lot of weight. You can buy a corkboard at an office supply store.

Most corkboards have reinforced corners you can screw through to install into drywall. Although the reinforcements are made of plastic, since there if very little weight hanging on the board, should be sufficient to hold the board to the wall.

Whenever possible, you should mount the corkboard into a wall stud. You may get lucky and get a stud on each side of the board, but don’t count on it. If you don’t have a wall stud where you are mounting the board, you can use a wall anchor. I have even used just course threaded drywall screws (only if very little weight will be supported).

Install one of the top corners into the drywall and then set a level on top of the board. Swing the board up or down to get it level and then secure the other top corner. Once the top has been secured, secure the bottom two corners into the wall. Just make sure you are screwing through the reinforcements so that the corkboard won’t rip.
