Question

How do I hang a poster on a brick or concrete wall?

Answer

Standard adhesive strips do not bond well to rough, porous surfaces like brick or concrete, so use a method built for masonry.

  • Brick adhesive hooks: designed to grip textured masonry without drilling.
  • Mortar anchors: drill into the softer mortar joints rather than the brick itself, then insert small anchors.
  • Magnetic poster rails: hung from a single masonry hook, they hold the poster while keeping the wall damage to one point.

Drilling the mortar instead of the brick keeps repairs simple, since mortar is easier to patch than a cracked brick face.
