How to Hang Art on Stucco

Because stucco is essentially man-made rock, it provides a very strong, stable surface to hang art on. Before hanging artwork on stucco, make sure the wall is real stucco, not imitation or EIFS. EIFS is an acrylic-based product applied over foam that has the appearance of stucco without the strength. Consult an EIFS contractor prior to attempting to hang art on imitation stucco.

Steel screws
Wall anchors
Drill
1/4-inch drill bit

Instructions

- 1
  Determine where the art will be hung on the stucco. Make a small mark on the stucco where supports for the art need to be placed.
- 2
  Use the drill and drill bit to make a small hole in the stucco where the supports for the art should go. Clean out the hole to limit the amount of cement dust inside.
- 3
  Insert a small amount of acrylic epoxy into each drilled hole. Push the anchors into the holes and allow the epoxy to set.
- 4
  Use steel screws to hang the art on the stucco wall. Steel screws provide additional support to the art and are more heavy-duty than the screws that generally come with anchors or picture hanging kits.
