How to Build Closet Shelves and Hangers
If you are like most people then there is never enough room in your closet. You have the abilities to make your own closet shelves and hangers. With a few materials and an imagination, your closet can have maximum storage space capabilities.
- Look inside your closet. You need to get an idea of how much space you need in your closet. It is a good idea to create a blueprint for the shelves in your closet; this will help you place them in the correct positions later.
- Measure the length of your closet and determine how many shelves you need. Also measure the length between each wall.
- Measure your shelves. Now that you have an idea of the size of shelves you need. Now is the time to measure and cut your shelves. From the measurements you took in your closet, you will use those to cut the length of your shelves.
- Drill holes in the shelves. Before you begin hanging your shelves, drill a hole in the shelves for easy access while drilling.
- Place the shelves in their designated area. Since you already created blueprint for the proper placement of your shelves, this part should be easy. Use a drill bit and screw to place the shelves in their proper positions.
- Place your hangers. Hangers are also built in the same manner as a shelf. Except you will use a thin and round piece of wood or a tension rod. Place your hangers inside the closet for even more storage space.
