A skateboard left lying under a bed, shoved in a closet, or leaned against a wall always ends up paying the price: dirty wheels, warped decks, and damaged graphics. Yet a deck deserves to be seen, not hidden away. Here is how to store it properly—and why a wall mount changes everything.
The most common storage mistakes
Leaving a skateboard flat under furniture or stacking it with other boards promotes humidity and pressure points that warp the deck over time. Leaving it standing against a wall, wheels on the floor, exposes it to bumps and the dust that accumulates in the bearings. And prolonged exposure to direct sunlight makes graphics fade faster than you might think.
The solution: a wall mount for your skateboard
A wall-mounted rack clears floor space, protects the deck from everyday bumps, and turns the skateboard into a decorative object in its own right—especially when the deck features artwork worth showing off. It is also the simplest solution for an interior lacking space.
Plastic Serie or Wood Serie: which should you choose?
Just like for surf racks, EDERRAK offers two materials for its skate mounts:
- The Plastic Serie, made from recycled plastic (post-consumer and post-industrial waste), starting at €19: bold colors, each piece is unique depending on the sourcing at the time. Water-resistant, it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
- The Wood Serie, made of Valchromat (FSC-certified recycled wood fibers), starting at €14, for a more understated and refined finish, for indoor use only.
Both ranges are handmade in workshops in the Basque Country, the Landes, and the Gironde, and are delivered with screws, wall plugs, and an installation guide.
How to install a wall-mounted skate rack
- Choose a solid wall or locate the studs at the desired height.
- Drill and insert the provided wall plugs (universal screws; for drywall, prefer specific anchors for better support).
- Screw the mount in by hand, without forcing the material.
- Place the skateboard: the deck should rest without any single pressure point.
Maintenance
For the Plastic Serie, cleaning with water is sufficient; for stubborn stains, use white vinegar and a microfiber cloth. For the Wood Serie, regular dusting and, if necessary, a natural oil such as Rubio will preserve the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What weight can an EDERRAK skate mount support?
Up to 5 kg, which is more than enough for a standard skateboard deck.
Yes, the mount adapts to both formats—just remember to check the deck length before installation. Is specific tooling required?
No, screws, wall plugs, and an installation guide are provided; a screwdriver or a drill is sufficient.
In summary
A well-chosen wall mount protects the skateboard, frees up space, and highlights the deck rather than hiding it. It's up to you to choose the material—colorful recycled plastic or more understated Valchromat wood.
