As we move into an unprecedented school year, many of our routines continue to be thrown off. If you or your children are working/learning from home and struggling to find a workspace, we have been there and understand. Our DIY Wood Wall Hanging Desk Project is perfect for an organized work area or a spacious place to finish homework. With just a few tools and materials you might already have, you will create an efficient space in no time.
Materials Needed:
- (1) Drill
- (1) Sander
- (2) Pipe fittings
- Rope
- (1) Pine board
- Semi-gloss polyurethane
- Optional: (2) “L” Brackets
DIY Desk Guide
Step 1:
First, find a nice flat board for the desk. We selected a one ½” thick, 16″ x 39″ pine board with a live edge for a more appealing aesthetic.
Step 2:
Drill four 1″ holes near the corners of the board.
Step 3:
Sand over the holes’ edges and the rest of the board.
Step 4:
After sanding, put several coats of semi-gloss polyurethane on the board.
Step 5:
As shown in the photo, assemble the fittings to make two handles, then securely mount them to the wall. The pipe fittings we used were two ½” x 5″ nipples, four ½” 90-degree elbows, four ½” x 2″ nipples, and four ½” floor flanges.
Step 6:
Loop two sections of 3/4″ thick rope through the holes and tie the ends to the handles. We used 20′ of rope, which was adequate for our two sections.
Step 7:
For additional support, attach two “L” brackets to the wall and the underside of the desk so as not to be seen.
