Do you have a special football helmet that represents your favorite team or that you or one of your kids wore when you played high school, college, or professional sports? Do you want to make sure it gets a place of honor in your home where you, your family, and your visitors will be sure to see it? If so, you should consider mounting it on the wall. However, you need to make sure you use the right equipment like an INVISI-ball Wall Mount and know how to mount it properly so it’s showcased in the right way and safely stays put.

Here are some tips for turning your helmet into wall art with a helmet wall mount. 

Choose the Right Type of Mount 

The first tip for mounting your helmet is to choose the right kind of helmet wall mount. If you want your helmet to look like it is hovering on your wall, making the biggest impact possible on viewers, consider choosing an invisible “line of sight” wall mount. This allows the helmet to be the center of attention rather than having a visible mount or shelf as a distraction.  

Know Where You Want to Display Your Helmet 

There is a fair amount involved in mounting your helmet so it’s important that you choose a place where you will want to keep your helmet for the foreseeable future. Popular places are above televisions in dens or living rooms, near the front door, or in memorabilia rooms or ‘man caves’. If you plan on mounting multiple helmets, balls, or other similar keepsakes, consider mapping out where each will be located so you end up with the right spacing.

Know the Mounting Steps 

When you use an invisible line of sight helmet wall mount, you’ll want to know the right steps to properly install it. The INVISI-ball wall mount comes with detailed instructions to help you hang it properly and ensure it can take the weight of your helmet. The kit also comes with all the needed hardware to mount your helmet so you will not need to buy extra nuts, bolts, or screws. There are eleven steps to mounting your helmet, so make sure you read all carefully and understand them before you begin your mounting project.

Buying the Right Invisible Mount 

Not sure what type of wall mount you want to use for your helmet? It’s always a good idea to read online reviews of products before you buy so you can see how others feel about their purchase and to determine if the mount is easy to install and stands the test of time. If you personally know anyone who has mounted their helmet on the wall, you can also ask them what product they used and if they are happy with the results. 

Using Your Helmet Wall Mount

When you choose the right product and fully understand all the steps involved in mounting it, you can impress all who come to your home with your sports memorabilia. Remember to do your due diligence when choosing a product and properly plan out where you will hang all your items to ensure they look exactly how you envisioned.
