How To Hang Exercise Mats

Exercise mats are frequently used for yoga, Pilates and floor work. Hanging up a mat for storage is a convenient way to free up floor space, especially in a gym or group exercise setting. Hang your mats to make more room for exercise and get your home gym equipment out of the way.

Things You'll Need

• Hanging mat Hanging mat storage rack Drill Two screws Measuring tape

Instructions

1. Measure the length of your mat. Mats typically range between 4 and 5 feet in length.

2. Choose a spot on the wall based on how long your mat is. Leave a couple of inches below the length of the mat so it does not hit the floor.

3. Drill either one or two holes into the wall to install your hanging storage rack. Some racks will hold up with one screw, while others require two.

4. Hang your mat by putting the eyelet(s) through the poles of the hanging rack. Some mats will only have one hole in the center, whereas others will have two on the sides.

5. Install more racks if you want to hang more than ten mats.

Tips & Warnings

• Hang your mat after every workout to allow it to dry.
