If you aren't familiar with it, this is a piece of metal that is attached to the wall with screws. The metal piece on the headboard is attached upside down and you just hang it on the wall. If you don't want to screw anything to the wall, you can always set the doors on the floor and push the bed frame against it to hold in place, but this is not as sturdy at actually attaching it. Check out these links for some ideas on how to hang the headboard- http://zbarhanger.com/12-feet-long-zbar-hang.html?gclid=CL-pybaeh64CFcUZQgody0pe4w http://www.ehow.com/video_8125987_hang-headboard-wall.html Hope this helps!

I've been wanting to do a DIY headboard for a long time, but didn't really have any money to spend. The shutters headboard gave me the idea to use some old folding doors I took off my closet! However, I'm wondering if it would be necessary to affix the doors to the wall at all? Any advice? Love these ideas for headboards!
