Snowboard shelf

Is winter now over and your snowboard has done its job? That’s still no reason to throw it away! Give your old board a new lease on life as a trendy kitchen shelf.

You don’t need much more than a rope, carabiner hook and a little DIY skill to make your snowboard a sporty eye-catcher for the kitchen.

First sand down the edges of the cleaned snowboard. This is really easy to do with a multi-sander. On the back of the board, mark four holes which will be used to hang it up. Also transfer these hole spacings onto the wall.

Use a combi drill to drill the holes in the board. Note: Use a metal drill bit on a snowboard that has a metal core. Then decide how high you want the shelf to be and fasten the rope to the snowboard with a knot at each hole.

Use a masonry drill bit in the combi drill to drill the holes in the wall. Then drill the holes and insert wall plugs. Fit the spring eyelet and the eyeplate, and connect the carabiner hooks.
