BIGFOOT Single Pack
BIGFOOT Single Pack
Improve your picture hanging with the Bigfoot – so that pictures finally lie parallel on the wall.
With the Bigfoot system, paintings hang straight on the wall using rope and cable systems and gallery rails – instead of tilting forward. The clever cable deflection directs the cable closer to the picture's center of gravity, aligning it parallel to the wall. Ideal for artists, galleries, and anyone who wants their artwork perfectly presented.
Advantages of Bigfoot
- No tilting forward – the picture hangs flush and parallel to the wall.
- Easy to install – mounted in just a few simple steps.
- No damage to the visible side of the painting– the installation takes place exclusively on the back of the artwork.
- Easy-to-understand, artist-tested instructions in "Ikea style" are included with every Bigfoot package.
- Reusable: After the exhibition, simply unscrew the Bigfoots and store together with the hanging system.
- Seven Bigfoot sizes for different picture depths – for a perfectly flush hanging. The size guide makes selection easy.
- Uniform hole pattern across all sizes – makes it easier to switch sizes if another size fits better.
- Suitable for all cables and ropes up to 2 mm in diameter (nylon cables, perlon cords, stainless steel and metal ropes).
- Compatible with all standard gallery rails.
- Suitable for all painting surfaces and wooden frames with at least 10 mm frame edge or stretcher frame profile – also for very thin profiles such as wooden bodies & wooden artpanels.
- Also suitable for metal and aluminum frames, but the Bigfoot hole pattern must be drilled into the frame beforehand.
- This makes spontaneous painting theft more difficult, as the cable is also routed over the Bigfoot.
- Toothed hooks and picture angles become superfluous – no unintentional piercing of underlying images during transport or storage.
Important NOTE
Bigfoot is an add-on for existing suspension and cable systems.
It does not replace a hanging system , but optimizes the hanging so that your picture no longer tilts forward, but hangs perfectly parallel to the wall.

BIGFOOT introduced
No tipping forward
The Bigfoot brings the cable closer to the center of gravity of the picture and pulls the painting back. This means that your artwork no longer hangs tilted, but is flush and parallel to the wall - perfectly presented.
Fits many frames and picture depths
Seven Bigfoot sizes and a uniform hole pattern allow for perfect hanging and easy size exchange.
Discreet assembly
The fastening is done exclusively on the back, leaving the visible sides of the artwork undamaged. After the exhibition, the Bigfoots can be removed again—or left in place if the customer has a gallery rail.
Compatible with common hanging systems
Suitable for all gallery rails and cable systems up to 2 mm in diameter (nylon, perlon, stainless steel and metal cables).
Ideal for canvas, wooden frames, plasterboards, wooden art panels and wooden bodies
The Bigfoot is suitable for all painting surfaces and wooden frames that have a stretcher frame profile or a frame edge of at least 10 mm. This includes very thin profiles, such as Casani wooden bodies or other wooden painting boards.
Aluminum and metal frames are generally suitable, but must be provided with the Bigfoot hole pattern in advance.
Reusable
Purchased once – reusable again and again. After the exhibition, simply detach and store in the box with the hanging system's accessories.
Easy assembly
Assembled in just a few steps, including user-friendly, artist-tested instructions in Ikea style.
Further advantages
Allows you to align multiple pictures one above the other, is reusable from exhibition to exhibition, deters opportunistic theft, and eliminates the need for extra sawtooth hangers or frame brackets, making transport and storage of your artworks easier.
Installing Bigfoot - in just a few steps
With Bigfoot, your picture can be mounted in just a few simple steps: the cable deflector is attached directly to the back of the frame. The intelligent cable deflection ensures that your picture aligns itself parallel to the wall—without tilting forward.
Bigfoot is a practical add-on to your existing hanging system and ensures that artwork hung on cables and gallery hooks can finally be displayed to their best advantage, whether in an exhibition, at the doctor's office, in your office, or at home.
1. Attach Bigfoot to the frame
Attach Bigfoot to the top corner of the frame and screw it in place using the included screws. A Torx screwdriver is sufficient.
2. Prepare the hook
Attach the hook to the back of the frame and tighten the screw. The rope or hanger will be attached here later.
3. Attach the rope
Insert the rope from your existing rail or rope system into the hook. Bigfoot ensures that the force is applied to the correct point on the image.
4. Done - picture hangs flush
Your picture is now hung in the existing hanging system - and thanks to Bigfoot, aligned parallel to the wall without tipping forward.
Do you have any questions? Here are our FAQs.
What size do I need?
To simplify the selection process, our size recommendation is based solely on the depth of the image, using experience as a guideline. For overlapping size ranges, it's generally safer to choose the smaller size for acrylic paintings on canvas, while for mixed media works or collages with a heavy application of paint, a larger size is preferable.
What do I need to assemble the Bigfoot?
The product includes four short screws for attaching the brackets to the picture, a reusable shim to set the correct 2.5mm distance between the top of the picture and the bracket, and two longer screws. A screwdriver or power drill with a T10 Torx drive is required. A pencil along with a ruler, tape measure, or scale is recommended for marking screw positions. A spirit level can also be helpful. The assembly of the system is described step-by-step in the enclosed instruction manual.
For which ropes is the Bigfoot suitable?
Bigfoot can be used for Perlon or nylon ropes as well as coated and uncoated steel ropes that do not exceed a diameter of 2mm.
Can the tiltSTOP system be reused?
Yes, the tiltSTOP system can be reused repeatedly. That's why we deliver the products in resealable bags.
