How to Build a Snowboard Rack for the Wall

Locate the studs in the wall where you wish to build the snowboard rack. Run a stud finder over the wall and listen for the indicator beep or watch for the indicator light on the finder’s display to show a stud’s presence. Mark the location of two of the studs, either 16 or 24 inches apart, depending on the spacing of the studs in your wall, with a pencil.

Place a carpenter’s level onto the wall at the desired height of the snowboard holder, overlapping the two studs. Draw a horizontal lone along the straightedge at the level that you want your holder placed.

Attach two 1-inch diameter pipe flanges on either end of the drawn line, centered on the line. Screw the flanges through the wall and into the studs beneath with drywall screws using a drill with a screw bit attached.

Screw a 12-inch long, 1-inch diameter pipe into each of the attached pipe flanges. The pipes will extend from the wall, parallel to the floor.

Measure and cut a 12-inch section of 1-inch diameter cork pipe insulation. Roll the insulation over each of the pipes to provide a non-slip surface for placing your boards.Screw pipe caps over the pipe ends to complete a rack level.

Repeat the level-building process for as many rack levels you wish to create. Place each additional level about 8-inches from the adjacent one in a line running along the two studs. Use the rack by sliding a snowboard onto the two pipes.
