Best way to hang my didgeridoo

[Innov8tive]

I want to hang my didgeridoo horizontally. I do not want shelving. 

What are a few options I can look into to be able to have my didgeridoo sitting comfortably and stable? 

Whatever I end up using will be going into drywall. 

Picture of didgeridoo and wall for reference.

Hi @Innov8tive,

There are quite a few options in our range of Bike Stands & Hooks that would work.

Some options include - 

• Pinnacle Jumbo Garage Wall Hanger
   
• Pinnacle PVC Coated Double Prong Hook
   
• Pinnacle Small PVC Coated J Hook
   
• Pinnacle Large PVC Coated J Hook
   

If you hang two of these hooks, they should be plenty strong to hold your didgeridoo. If you head to the garage storage and racking aisle at your local store, you can have a look at a variety of hooks like these that should work. You'd just want to confirm that the diameter of the didgeridoo will safely sit within the hook.

Ideally, you would screw the hooks to a stud, which you can locate using a studfinder, but if you can't locate any, some plasterboard anchors will be fine; you'll just want to confirm that they are capable of supporting the weight of your didgeridoo.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

@JacobZ thanks for that. 

I will take my digeridoo with me to see what would fit best. 

I do have a few questions. What is a stud finder. I had a look but wasn't sure what it would be used for? 

Also with the wall anchors. I understand the necessity of them but I've removed quite a few doing my renovations of my house. I tend to not enjoy using them as they can get stuck and broken inside the walls which make them very hard to remove. 

Is there a video on the Bunnings workshop site that can show me how to use them so I do a good job? 

I'll head there Bunnings down the aisle you mentioned at my local store and look at my options.

I'm also thinking something similar to this might also be an idea for something a little more stylish?

@JacobZ I ended up purchasing these wall anchors from Bunnings. I need to drill the pilot hole so I can insert the anchor. 

I have every size drill bit but am unsure which size to go with so the anchor will fit snug into the hole. 

My drill bit sizes are sequenced as 4. 4.2  4.5 and so on. 

I don't want to use the wrong drill bit as I've not long finished renovating the room it's going in. 

How do I tell which drill bit to use?

Hi @Innov8tive,

Apologies for the delay in response. It's good to see you've already grabbed things and are ready to install.

WallMates do not require a pilot hole. Simply push the tip into the plasterboard until it pierces the paper and rotate it in with a screwdriver.

Further details can be found here - WALLMATE Technical Data Sheet.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

That's really handy to know that. I'll give it a shot. Once done will attach some pics here. Thanks again!
