How to hang a rug on the wall with nails.

The easiest way to do this is to hammer the two top corners of the rug and then place one nail in the middle. Hang the rod anchors to the wall using a drill and screws. The plain nails are purely for functional purposes. Nail through the rug and into the mounted tack strip.

Every rug in the shop is hung with the strips. Nail the rug to the tack strip. Hang the rug via the twine on a nail or stud on your wall. The weight of the rug pulling against the nails will cause stress on the fibers and will irreparably damage the rug.

Make sure it is not longer or shorter. I started in the center and worked out. When holding up the twine it should form a triangle with the pipe and rug at the bottom. Rugs should never be hung directly above or very near a heat source such as a heat vent or fireplace.

Tie the loose ends of the twine together outside of the pipe. Lift the rug against the top tack strip and press it firmly against the strip. Slide your rod through the casing on the rug and hang the rod on the wall. Measure and prepare your wall for hanging the rod by measuring the width of your rug and where you want the rod to fall.

Fold half of the rug over the pipe so that the rug is draping down on both sides. Using upholstery nails attach your rug to the strip. If you want a more casual look hammer the corners about one inch from the end so they hang slightly downward. Once you have got your exact placement and the top placement is level hammer nails in the tack strip to attach it to the wall.

They should also never be hung by nailing or pinning them to the wall. These strips are made for pulling a carpet to the outer edge of the room to hold it from shifting. Use two upholstery nails to secure each corner of the rug and then use a third nail to secure the middle.
