Our outdoor wall art ideas include hanging your artwork also. Don't hesitate about purchasing exterior wall art, especially outdoor metal wall art, because you can't figure out how to hang it on brick or
siding. Let me show you several easy options.

How To Make Freestanding Interior/Exterior Decorating Hangars
Hang outdoor art work on your porch without making holes or drilling through brick or siding.
This simple and inexpensive solution works great almost anywhere - all you need is a floor
and ceiling. I've used it indoors and out and it works like a charm!
Although it is not meant for heavy objects, it is perfect for hanging artwork,
lights, holiday decorations, wreaths, holiday lights and a host of your favorite items.
And it only takes a
few minutes.
Here's how to create you own freestanding hanger:
- Measure the distance from your ceiling to the floor and subtract 1 inch.
- Purchase inexpensive 1x2 lumber (cut to length), 3/8 inch t-nuts, and 3/8 inch by 2 inch carriage bolts at your local home supply store.
-Drill a 3/8 inch hole 2 1/4 inches deep in the bottom of the 1x2(s).
-Tap the t-nut(s) into the holes.
-Insert the bolts in the t-nuts leaving about 3/4 inch exposed
-Paint the 1x2s if so desired. Let dry.
-Place felt on the top of the 1x2s to protect the ceiling.
-Position the 1x2s flat against the wall. With the top of the 1x2 against the ceiling, unscrew the bolt at the bottom until the 1x2 is securely lodged between the ceiling and floor (place felt under bolt head to protect floor). Make snug; do not over tighten.
-Attach your favorite artwork, wreath, pictures, lights, or holiday decorations to the 1x2s with small nails, screws, or hooks, etc.
Use as many 1x2s as you need. You can paint the 1x2 sides different colors for different holidays. Attach two or
more and hang lattice over them. Now you have a perfect trellis for climbing plants or hang additional artwork or
memorabilia.
They work really well in kids rooms for posters and other fun decorations -
no more tape on your walls! You can even use them under cabinets or in closets to hang handy items.
Ideal for porches as you don't have to make holes in siding or drill into brick.
They are easy to remove or to relocate to another area of your porch which makes them
ideal for porch decorating.
Drilling Method
Although I recommend any of the above options over drilling into the side of your home, sometimes it
is the best solution.
Drilling in brick or concrete requires the use of a drill, concrete bit, and concrete screw. I really
recommend using a hammer drill rather than an ordinary drill but it can be done with either. I also
recommend using Tapcon screws. You can find these at your local home building supply store.
If drilling into wood, a regular drill and drill bit will work fine.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you
might have about hanging outdoor wall art on your porch; we are
here to help!
Now that you've explored outdoor wall art ideas, be sure to see how the ever popular porch curtains and
porch swings might be other great additions to your porch.
