Knowing the tips and tricks of building a gun rack from start to finish is important, so you don’t skip any steps. We offer a step-by-step tutorial, so gun owners are confident in making stand-alone racks, weapon racks, and affordable gun racks for their homes.
The first step of creating your gun rack is choosing the right closet space. Gun owners must decide where they want to build their in-home gun rack.
By browsing online gun closet design ideas, gun owners can find a cool idea they love for the additional space in their house.
Measure the closet using a tape measure to see how much space you have to build your custom rack.
Determine if you're going to store rifles, magazines, uppers, shotguns, pistols, and other accessories in your rack.
Browse the 550 products at Spartan Mounts so that each firearm and accessory has a spot.
Ensure the firearms you want to display can fit in your chosen gun rack. Measure the width, length, and height of your firearms compared to the wall and floor space.
Using chalk or a construction pencil, measure the area where you want to build and hang the gun rack.
Mark the wall with some blue masking tape to help visualize where the guns will be displayed. Ensure you leave a couple of inches on each side for extra room and additional floor space to get in and out of the closet.
Alternatively, you can use blue masking tape to lay out the size of the rack location on the floor, and lay your firearms inside the space to finalize their location before mounting.
Choose the type of finish you want for your rack. Most owners choose an easy spray-on finish or spray paint. If you are mounting directly to your closet wall or door, now is your chance to add vinyl texture, or paint the walls before you mount your firearms.
Use proper installation screws to attach the mounts to the wall or backing-board that the rack is built out of. Transfer each mount using the locations you figured out in step 8
Display your work and firearms. Your custom rack is the best way to showcase your unique collection of guns.

Gun owners can store a gun in a closet to save space. Firearm owners can use vertical gun storage (vertical gun rack) on the wall or horizontal racks to lay out their firearms.
Guns can be stored long-term by using temperature-controlled storage space in a closet. Owners can use vertical storage with a vertical gun rack or horizontal storage with a horizontal gun rack to save space in their home's closet.
Yes. If you don't have the money or the space for a traditional gun safe, one of the best storage solutions for keeping your firearms protected is to keep your gun in a closet with a standard key or fingerprint lock. Not only is this relatively safe from burglars or children, you can keep your weapons temperature-controlled to avoid moisture, mildew, and deterioration.
This is a personal preference. However, if your gun rack is easy to access for display purposes, you should keep your ammo locked up separately for safety.
