OK, time has come for me to decorate my game-room with some of the backglasses I've been saving so I started thinking about it and I'm not really into using those clips, and I have too many to buy frames so I was going to go frameless and line them up on a ledge, maybe even make 2 rows. I can make it as long as I want, across the whole wall if I like, and screw it into the studs so it should be strong enough. Anyone like this idea or care to share theirs?
Quoted from swampfire:I've considered something similar, but you definitely need to secure it from the top too.
Yep thinking about that, most likely will require a top, otherwise I would have to make it stick too far from the wall to make them lean on the wall at a greater angle. But I can probably get by with using less screws on the top piece and could probably go every other stud.
I will vouch for mirror clips... I have 5 backglasses and a ton of arcade marquees on the wall using just mirror clips and 1 inch screws into the drywall. 2 clips per side - 8 per glass. Works great. The ledge looks like an interesting solution though - will not make as many holes in the wall for sure.
