Spruce up a wall with a Wallhog

April 15, 2007 by Tricia

Have you guys heard of walhogs yet? Wallhogs are basically posters, vinyl or canvas prints that you place on your wall.

create_wall.jpg Wallhogs can be created from your own digital photos or images to create wall posters, large reusable vinyl wall hangings, and canvas prints in a variety sizes with the largest being up to 7 feet tall. If you don’t have great images of your own to use, you can browse through the wallhog image catalogue to chose a photo or image that suits your needs.

Imagine that? Think of how thrilled your child would be to have a photo or image of one of their favorite things, scenes or people on their wall? If you wanted to, you could probably cover one whole wall or the majority of a wall with one of the vinyl wallhogs. I know if I was still a kid I’d just love that.

When I told my husband about wallhogs we both immediately thought of using one in our soon to be refinished basement. I could take a photo of our garden, perhaps a view from the house looking out at the whole garden and we could put a wallhog on the basement wall that would be closest to our garden. Every time we’d go into the basement and look towards that wall it would be just like looking out into our garden. No more dingy dark basement for us. It would be alive with the feeling that our garden gives us when we are sitting in it.

Businesses could use wallhogs to display life size images of their products, logos or perhaps even corporate events that they are proud to have taken part in.

There are simply so many ways that home owners and businesses could use wallhogs it’ s unbelievable.

Posters can be created in sizes from 24″ tall and 4 feet wide, or as large as 7 feet by 4.5 feet. Posters have a high gloss finish and just like any of the wallhog products, they are usually created quickly and shipped out within 72 hours of the time that you placed your order.

Just like posters, vinyl images can be created in very large sizes. They can be made in sizes from 2 to 7 feet in height, by 4.5 feet wide. That’s huge! You could certainly cover all, or a large portion of a wall with one of the vinyl wallhogs. Vinyl images are shipped out within three days of your order and like all of the wallhog products there is no minimum order. You can order just one, or as many as your heart desires.

The vinyl images are reusable too. You can install one on a wall very easily and if for some reason you’d like to take it down you can store it and then reuse it where ever you please.

As you can see from this image they can remove the background from the photo in order to highlight the focus of the picture. Background removal is free of charge.

The third type of wallhog that you can create is a canvas print. Canvas prints can be create in sizes from 11 x 14 inches up to as much as 24″ by 36″. The inks and canvas material used are of high quality. Canvas images orders have a fast turn around and are often shipped on the same day.

As you can see wallhogs are quite versatile and they are simple to order too. To create a wallhog you just need to decide whether you’d like a poster, vinyl image or canvas print, pick an image from their catalogue or upload your own image, and then follow the easy steps to create a wallhog of the exact size and type that you’d like.

The prices are reasonable too. Going over the site the lowest price I saw was 19.99 for a 2 foot by 4 foot poster, and the highest priced item that I saw was the very large 84″ tall X 52″ vinyl image for $79.99. Don’t you think that’s reasonable for the versatility, size and quality that you’d get when ordering a wallhog?

If you are a photographer or artist you can upload your own images and sell them in the wallhog catalogue. Photographers and artists who sell their images in the wallhog catalogue are also offered a discount price on wallhogs of their own so that they can sell them to their customers through the wallhog reseller program.

I’ve posted some photos on my sites that some people have left comments on stating “that could be a wallhog”. So, I’ve been thinking of placing some of my images in the wallhog catalogue too. Why not? If people like my photos enough to leave comments suggesting that they’d make great wallhogs why not allow them to use them for that purpose and make a little bit of money too?

If you think that wallhogs are a great idea why don’t you go on over to the Wallhog.com website and see what you can create with your images. Browse through their catalogue while you’re there too as there is a wide assortment of images and I’m sure you’d find something that you’d enjoy using.

Wallhogs they have kindly offered to host a contest by supplying a free wallhog to the contest winner. The wallhog would be of the winners choice. If they’d approve my idea I’d love to hold a contest where my readers could submit landscape, cityscape, wildlife and nature photos. I’d hold the contest and allow my site visitors to vote on the images. The best 10 images would then go through a secondary voting process to pick the grand prize winner. If the people at wallhogs approve this contest idea I’ll let you know and we’ll have ourselves some fun.

If you’d be interested in participating in this type of contest please leave a comment so that the people from Wallhogs can see that the contest would be a great idea to host.

    The whole time I was waiting for the price tag and admittedly $79.99 sounds like a good deal for what you get. The $19.99 sounds like a little bit unfair but I suppose that’s how graduated pricing works. =p
