Garage Door Whiteboard

Step 6 Mount Tile Board

Now comes the fun part, attaching the white board to the frame.

Rather than put screws through the middle of the white board, which would defeat the whole purpose of this amazing white board, we put some glue along the center two beams of the support frame to attach the board to the frame. You can put glue along the entire support frame if you desire, we just ran out of glue.

Get someone to help get the Tile Board and its attached Euca board lined up to the frame that is now mounted on the garage door and has glue on it.


Once you get the white board all lined up, it's time to screw it to the frame. Don't skimp on screws here as these screws are really the only thing keeping the white board from falling on your head.

We put about close to 20, counter-sunk screws along the edges at roughly the same distance from each other.

Once you have the board completely mounted, you're done! You can now enjoy your brand new garage door white board. Don't open the garage door if you can help it until about 24 hours have passed so that the glue on those beams can really harden up.

Make sure to keep markers and an eraser handy as you never know when you'll need to quickly sketch out something.

You could probably add a tray for markers & an eraser that spans the bottom by attaching it an eye-bolt. The bolt part would go straight into the whiteboard and the tray would hang from it against the board when the garage door was closed. When the garage door is opened, it would hang perpendicular to the whiteboard. You could also just screw a coffee can to the wall and keep your markers/eraser in there. :) Cool project and a good use of space. I didn't realize whiteboards were so cheap!
