Hanging A Heavy Window On The Wall
A few months ago a bought a wonderful nine paned window from a friend in Ohio. Up until today, that window sat in the garage while I tried to figure out a way to hang it - I wasn't looking that hard until the last few days. I came across a few sites that had different ideas, heavy frame wire, french cleats and so on. So I took a trip to lowes with the intention of getting a french cleat type item so that my window would be flush to the wall because I did not want to deal with wire. Dealing with wire would require me to cover the windows entirely and that was not my intention at all! Below is what I came up with.

| Hang Man Picture Hanging System. 18" long and holds up to 200lbs! Cost around $11 at Lowes |
 |
| Find the studs in your wall. If you can't find them or want to feel safer like me, predrill your holes and use the wall anchors before using your screws. This came with a level so it was super simple to make sure it wasn't crooked. |
 |
| Attach the other piece to the item you are hanging. |
 |
| Put the two together and wallah, all done and flush with the wall. All of this took me maybe 5-10 minutes. That was with Rory "helping". |
 |
| Doesn't it look pretty!? I'm going to put photos in the center of each window once they are picked out and printed. |
very cute! what a handy gadget!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to put pictures on the inside or outside of the glass
ReplyDeleteIn an effort to help rid the world of typos: It's "Voila" not walla. For a little history, it's French, and I believe it'd be from Vois (look/see) and La (this/ it)... :)
ReplyDeleteI also have a nine pane Window to hang. Thanks so much for the information! I didn't know how I was going to hang it.
ReplyDeletePerfect, I have old windows that have been sitting while I figure out how to hang them also. Thank you for the information!
ReplyDeleteLol, voila!

I also have a window to hang and I'm going to use it to display a seasonal wreath. That way I just change out the wreath for the appropriate season/holiday. This was the most helpful advice so far! Thanks!
