Whether you ride every weekend or just once a season, finding the right wall mount for your snowboard can make a big difference in how you protect and showcase your gear. Snowboards are more than just tools for the mountain—they’re also personal, often visually striking, and not exactly easy to store. A good wall mount helps you save space, prevent damage, and even turn your board into part of your home or garage aesthetic.
Here’s how to find the right wall mount and what to consider before drilling into your wall.
Why Wall Mounting Your Snowboard Is a Smart Move
Leaning your board in the corner of a room or stacking it in a closet can lead to scuffed edges, warped bases, and accidental dings. Wall mounting keeps your snowboard:
-
Off the floor and out of harm’s way
-
Properly supported to avoid pressure points
-
Visibly accessible for quick grab-and-go sessions
-
On display, if you want to show off your board graphics or collection
Whether you need a clean garage setup, a gear room layout, or a living room display, wall mounting is a functional and aesthetic upgrade.
Types of Snowboard Wall Mounts
1. Horizontal Wall Racks
These typically involve two pegs or brackets that hold the board along its length. Great for display purposes, especially if you want to show off board art. They take up more wall width but can look great in living rooms or shops.
2. Vertical Racks with Straps or Slots
These allow you to stand the board upright, sometimes sliding it into a slot or securing it with a strap. Ideal for tight spaces or garages where space is at a premium.
3. Peg or Hook-Based Systems
Some people DIY their snowboard mount using simple wall hooks or pegs. While this can work, it’s important to avoid putting pressure on the wrong parts of the board (especially the camber/rocker zones) and to pad the contact points.
4. Adjustable Grip Systems
Flexible wall mounts like Gravity Grabber use spring-loaded arms that gently hold your snowboard along its side edges—no slots, straps, or tight cradles. This helps prevent base or edge damage and makes it easier to take the board in and out without fuss. Gravity Grabber can also hold skis, paddles, or long tools, making it a great multi-use option for anyone with overlapping gear.
How to Choose the Right Mount for Your Space
-
Display vs. Storage: If you’re storing a board long-term (especially off-season), vertical mounts may be more space-efficient. If you’re displaying a retired board, go horizontal and hang it like a piece of art.
-
Access Frequency: Boards you use often should be mounted somewhere easy to reach and in a system that’s quick to load/unload.
-
Wall Type: Make sure your wall can support the mount and the board. Use anchors for drywall or secure directly into studs when possible.
-
Aesthetic vs. Practical: Some mounts are purely functional, while others are designed to look sleek or even “invisible.” Choose what fits your style and space best.
Store Smarter With a Clean Mounting Solution
A wall mount for your snowboard doesn’t just free up floor space—it also keeps your gear in better shape, ready for the next storm or trip to the resort. Whether you're looking for a minimalist display or a versatile grip system like Gravity Grabber, mounting your board the right way protects your investment and makes your space feel more dialed.
