I live in a flat with a few other friends and we're renting, we're not allowed to drill holes in the wall, so I was wondering if anyone had a successful method of putting a
single shelf up on the wall? It doesn't need to hold a lot of weight, just a few display pieces. Any suggestions would be welcome :) Link to postShare on other sitesPerhaps use self adhesive pads then use a bracket which you would otherwise drill in to attach to the pads then screw the brackets to the shelf? Not sure how secure / stable it would be - but if it doesn't need to hold too much weight, then i suppose it could work.

Thanks for that man, I was thinking along the lines of those 3M adhesive pads, I think they'll do the trick :) Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites

Dito. About your shelve. Adhesives work so a certain degree. Don't put anything up there you value, especially if the shelve itself has some weight to it aswell. I suggest you drill holes [i know you're not allowed to but:] and once you move out, kit them up. If you are allowed to drill holes into the ceiling [say for a lamp] have it hang from chains [what I did, cause would work otherwise]. And it looks nice ^^ Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

Good bit of sarcasm in there, although it does work for fixing broken table legs. Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
We get flat inspection every 3 or so months, so drilling holes is definitely out of the question unfortunately :( Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
Are you sure the landlord can forbid you to drill holes? Donno about New Zealand's Law, but here they cannot even deny you smoking inside ^^ Hmm, maybe an actual shelve, like standing on the ground? No room? Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

It would look cool, not sure how practical it would be mind you. :/ Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
Yeah of course, we rent their house that THEY own, so we can't modify anything in the house that requires fixture, which is fine by me tbh, when I own a house and want to rent it out I wouldn't want someone destroying my house, lol. Yeah no room, it's going to be above my computer desk, just to hold some memorabilia and some nice back drop items :) Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sites
Hmm now that I look up, I've got hangers fixed in the wall way above me, It's a good 2.5m up though, haha, I'll try my luck, thanks for the suggestion! Link to commentShare on other sitesLink to postShare on other sitesGet some chains from your local hardware store, and screw in some hooks or something into your shelve. I have a few things fixed like that. And it looks like some kind of nerd-serial-killer-den in here :D Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

Measure out with the angle bracket where to put the screws. ... . Place it on the wall where you would like to attach the shelf.. Fill adhesive into the larger hole until you can see it in the smaller hole.. Will Command strips hold a shelf?In general, the strong adhesive on Command strips and hooks will be able to hold wall shelving, as long as you don't exceed 15-16 pounds. What is this? Furthermore, Command strips don't damage your walls or paint. This can be perfect for renters and homeowners who don't want to make a mess.
Can you put up a shelf without damaging the wall?If you weren't going to put anything incredibly heavy on it, you could use Command Strips by 3m. They don't damage the wall and are completely removable. However they have a low weight limit so it would severely limit both the size (and weight) of the shelf as well as what you could place or display on it.
Can I glue a shelf to the wall?First, clean the surface of the wall where your new shelf will be installed. You need to remove dust and dirt to ensure proper adhesion of the glue or adhesive sealant. Then apply the glue to the back of the shelf (the side that will touch the wall), in dots or in lines 7 – 10 cm apart in a thicker layer (7 – 10 mm).
