How can I hang a canvas that weighs over 150 lbs?

Question:I have a large painting that I want to hang in my house. The canvas is very heavy and is also 10 feet long.

Answers:
You'll have to make sure it's suspended from the studs within your walls. Any frame shop should have the right equipment for you to do this. Look for a frame with a chain-like hook attachment/anchor that hangs from large gauge screws bored into the studs. Check with Aaron Brothers or Michael's craft stores.
