Hi

Does anyone know if you can get (or what I could use) to hang pictures on a slanted wall (i.e. in the attic bedrooms where the velux windows are?

Depends if you want it removeable or not.

If you want to be able to remove it then 4 of these (aligned very carefully!) http://www.screwfix.com/prods/11423/Ironmongery/Brackets/Brackets/Flush-Mounts-Zinc-Plated-3-75-x-35-x-36-87mm-Pack-of-10

If not then 4 of these http://www.screwfix.com/prods/14738/Ironmongery/Brackets/Brackets/Mirror-Plates-Slotted-Electro-Brass-32-x-32mm-Pack-of-10

Would obviously require big enough frames to screw these to, but it would at least hold the picture enough to keep it on the wall rather than trying to hang vertically all the time.

maybe use four mirror type clips and then slide the frame in.

Go into any pub and see how pictures are fastened to the wall. That's the way to do it.

ormus

how many slanted pubs do you know?

lol.....at the end of a good evening they sometimes are!

Thanks for the great advice and I'll have a try but it seems I'm going to have to be pretty accurate. I've got quite good at filling holes
