Hex Sign Hanging
Hanging Your Hex Sign
Mounting Surface, Sign Size and Location (inside or outdoors) are a few factors to consider when choosing the appropriate hanging technique for displaying your hex signs.
Where am I going to hang my hex sign?
Hex Signs can be displayed in any number of locations. If you choose to mount them inside or outside in a location free of vibrations or wind then mounting the sign at its center is all that is required. Most hex signs will have a small pre-drilled hole located at the center. You can opt to use a nail or a screw for center mounting. Using a nail that has a head slightly larger than the hole will show up the least, but a screw will allow you to remove and relocate the sign with less of a chance for damaging the sign. You can always use a little paint that matches the design and color the top of the nail or screw. An alternative to using screws or nails for indoor mouting is using double stick foam tape.
If you are going to mount a sign in an area that receives strong winds it is best to use multiple screws to mount them. Besides being secured at multiple locations, this also prevents the sign from spinning like it would if it was only mounted at the center. Your sign does not come with mouning holes on the sides. Pre-drilling these holes before mounting your hex sign is recommended. Make sure to use screws or nails that are meant for outdoor use.
