A hammer is the only tool you will need to hang your new tackboard.
Place your tackboard in position on the wall. Start at one top corner approximately 3" down from the top edge and 3" in from the side edge. At the intersecting point, drive a brad at a slight downward angle through the board and into the wall. DON'T OVERHAMMER, JUST SNUG THE BRAD FLUSH TO THE BOARD'S FACE.
Level your board. Repeat the nailing process at the other top corner while holding the top edge flat against the wall. Hold your board flat to remove any bowing and repeat the nailing process in the bottom two corners.
If needed use additional brads to remove any objectionable bows in your board.
You can hide the brad heads on the face of the board. Using the extra brad we supplied, gently and carefully "pick" out the fabric around the heads of the brads until they are completely covered and hidden.
To move or remove your board, simply slide your hand behind the board and gently work the board off the wall at each brad. The brads will either come off with the board or will pull through the board and remain in the wall. The board can be rehung using the original brads.
