Bat Display ideas

Re: Bat Display ideas

I am looking for different ideas on how to display bats. There was one person on this site that had a great display but I can't seem to find the thread.

Thanks

This is probably the "weak spot" in my basement, but I think it will look better over time as I aquire more bats.

I just anchor two long boards horizontally on the wall. Then I screw in these U-shaped thingys that are used for hanging rakes and such in your garage. They have rubber on them so they don't scratch the bats.

Re: Bat Display ideas

I am still trying to decide how I want to display my stuff. I've had my house for 5 years, and still haven't gotten it all together. Not to mention, my collection has taken a few turns over the years...

I bought these cheap red-powder coated steel bat racks on eBay for under $20 - and they hold 9 bats each. Good temporary fix. In my first stages of collecting bats, I bought big, expensive display cases - and decided that they were bulky, and took up too much space. I want to be able to see and grabs bats whenever the mood strikes, but I also want space to display photos, etc. along side of them.

Re: Bat Display ideas

I use the same rubber coated U shaped hangers like Scott Harpt. They are perfect for hanging a bat and cost something like $1.89 each at my local Lowes. I also bought a package of heavy screw in drywall anchors, plastic ones that you can screw directly into the wall. With the larger size, I can screw the U hangers directly into the drywall hangers, no drilling or anything else needed.
