The oldest slogan in sport, and it belongs in the gym

This one rarely goes up in a hallway. It ends up in a home gym, a garage with a rack in it, a spare room that stopped being a spare room — next to the barbell rather than next to the coats.

Which changes what the display has to survive. Chalk dust, temperature swings, the occasional knock from something being carried past. AISI 304 stainless steel handles all three; painted sheet metal does not.

Garage and basement gyms swing through a wide temperature range and often sit at high humidity. Stainless steel is unbothered by both, which is not true of a painted finish.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Gym walls are usually shorter than hallway walls. Measure the run of free wall above the rack before choosing between 60 and 75 cm.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Putting it up

The standoffs hold it a centimetre off the wall, which is what gives the shadow line. Template, screws and plugs are included; you need a drill and ten minutes.

When it fills up

A second unit mounts flush against the first, so the wall still reads as one piece rather than two things hung near each other. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.
