Wood Closet Shelving | Ana White

Do it is worthwhile to arrange your closets, nonetheless –

• Want a extremely personalized closet organizer – good to your points and no wasted home or compromises
• Want secure picket closet shelving (no particle board)
• Want a freestanding closet, that does not should be hooked as much as the wall
• Have minimal experience with devices, nonetheless are up for a simple and low-cost enterprise?

You’ll assemble your private picket closet shelving.  It’s easier than you may suppose and likewise you solely need just a few devices.

You merely assemble “legs” from 2x4s with 1x4s screwed to the outsides.  You then add 1x4s contained within the legs, at regardless of measurement your closet is. You’ll be able to do that!

And the highest end result’s beautiful and sensible!  That is how my ten foot prolonged closet turned out.

I moreover added just a few smaller cupboards throughout the middle, using the equivalent methodology – 2×4 helps with 1x4s on prime.

How lots did it value?

The price was beautiful too!  That is what I spent –

• Lumber (all new) – $120
• Pipes for closet rods – $60
• Stain and screws – $20

If I had used dowels for closet rods, this enterprise would have been beneath $150.

I would estimate between $15-$20 a linear foot to assemble your private closets.

Industrial Iron Pipe Rods

The iron pipes have been an enormous part of the funds.  I wanted the look, and it is beautiful!

It may possibly prevent alot of money (and it’s easier) by merely using picket dowels as useful throughout the plans.  Nonetheless we moreover wanted to provide instruction on how the iron pipes went collectively.

I used all 3/4″ fittings.  Per each rod, I purchased:

• (1) 36″ pipe
• (2) Ts
• (4) 8″ nipples
• (4) end caps

This was undoubtedly the costliest half, nonetheless the splurge was utterly value it!

Costs may be cut back down by using a smaller pipe (1/2″) or having a lot much less specific particular person rods, and using longer pipes as the worth is in the entire fittings.

Nonetheless one issue to consider is the cupboards above and underneath the pipes mustn’t span better than about 3 toes or they’re going to start to sag, so I opted to make my closet rods using 36″ pipes.

To get the closet to work with the 36″ pipe objects, I put the pipe fittings collectively first, then came upon how far apart I needed to accommodate the legs.  Then attached the shelving to the legs so it labored with my measurements.

This closet is freestanding, nonetheless we do counsel attaching to the wall merely to cease forward tipping.

It’s good on account of you presumably can assemble it throughout the storage, after which merely set it up throughout the closet, and even in your room.
