Hanging a table (2 Viewers)

[BigSlickTux]

As my home doesn't have a lot of storage and I don't have a dedicated poker room, I've decided to hang my table on a garage wall. My table has a racetrack with cup holders that I will remove and put some type of hook through. Do any of you know of any type of hook that can hold a heavy table like that? Something that might have a 150lb rating. Thanks

Bicycle hanging hooks might do the job

Look at wheelbarrow hooks.

Put one on the wall and one on the underside of the table, interlocking configuration.

Like this:

U can use "EYE HOOKS" they come in all sizes depending on the weight u choose. Screw them into the 2x4 wood studs and your good to go. U can also add handles to your Table and hang them from those instead of cup holders that u will remove and put some type of hook through.

Here are some other poker table storage options....

I use hooks and chain from Home Depot. Two on the bottom of the table, two in studs in the basement. Chain connects them.

Similar to this (but heavy duty and more utilitarian):

I also use a ladder hanger to store the rail separate. Screw two into the 2x4's studs (above the table), run a 1x3 wrapped with cushion (so as not to damage/stress the rail foam) and rest the rail across the 1x3.

Something like this, but it only has one arm, and the arm is long enough to hold a 1x3.

I can post pics of my setup if there is interest.

Also, I've seen people remove cup holders and hang the table through the cupholder holes on to PVC pipe mounted to the wall. http://www.scottkeen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17420 (Images long gone).

Cover the table with an old sheet to keep it clean and to avoid sun fading in the garage.

That's what I would look at first.

Those jabbers are only rated at 25 lbs.

Thanks. I was looking at different hooks but just wasn't sure if they were strong enough. I'll check around.

 

[gopherblue]

Also, mount them on studs, given the load.

Everbilt has some 50lb. rated options. Maybe if you can get three of them to land on the cupholders, and assuming they sit on studs, you should be OK...

Although @Kensco's customized French Cleat would probably be easier to implement. You wouldn't need to remove cupholders, and you can make sure the support strip hits the studs. It's the same way heavy art is hung...

*But you'd screw into the bottom of the table, and not through the surface.

What about something like this?

French cleat is a great option. Those 25 lb capacity hooks are per hook... could use three hooks. Though getting them into studs and also aligning with cup holders is not likely.

The SCREW EYES

SCREW HOOKS are your best bet. I use them all the time for 150 pounds per hook. like i said they come in all sizes depending on the amount of weight u want to hang. u can pick them up at "HOME CHEAPO" I mean HOME DEPOT...

Pre Drill holes before screwing them in.

Only issue with french cleat is that he may have to add some blocking to get the hanger piece off the table enough to clear the rail padding. Which could end up making it a knee-banger. Just depends how thick the padding wraps on the underside of the table. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dig it, although spacing is limited/fixed to your stud spacing. But that could be easily rectified by attaching a cross-piece of lumber, and mounting the conduit hangers to match up with the cup holders as needed.

Thanks everyone for the fast replies. I wouldn't have to make sure studs align with cup holders because I'm thinking of running a 2x4 across the wall first, attached by lag bolts. Then I would use one of the above mentioned methods.

Was going to suggest that too but figured you had it covered. (y) :thumbsup:

This is how I mounted a moose rack. Not a full mount, but has weight and is front heavy. I hung it the first try. No BS moving to catch this or that. It was easy.

Two flat screen TV mounts could work.
