What's the best way to hang a wall hanging on a cheap mobile home wall?
Manufactured Homes May 6th, 2010I’m going to have to hang something on the walls in my room and the living room to block noise in a badly made mobile home. What’s the best way to hang them? My solution is nails, but my dad really doesn’t want holes in the walls. What are some other options? Thanks.

I belive Scotch makes a stick on hook that uses tackey. My friend used that and the framed picture fell off the wall and shattered.
The best thing to use is a screw with and anchor. You screw the anchor in first then screw the screw in. The anchor will expand.

When you want to take it out, just cover the hole with some spackle. It’s cheap and easy.

1) Buy some ‘Gorilla Glue’ –The World’s strongest glue.
2) Glue some Natural Ice Beer Cans (like you don’t have them littering your floor) to your wall….apply the glue to the bottom of the can’s and press that end against the wall.
3) Apply loops of string to whatever you want to hang up (I am assuming Velvet Paintings of Elvis) and loop the string over the beer cans.
4) Avoid sex with cousins and PLEASE DO NOT sniff the Gorilla Glue….this ain’t Elmer’s paste you are dealing with.

I would report elwood. I think you could use push type tacks. they will leave a very small hole when removed

Almost every mobile home I’ve seen has paneling. Use a small anchor in the dark groove between the panels. They can be sealed later and a little black paint will completely hide it.

Use double sticky back tape, there is thin and thick tape. It’s not too hard to get off either. Velcro is another option.
