DIY Clothing Racks
Will has lots of clothes, lots & lots of clothes! When we moved into our new house, we quickly decided that we would need more closet space. We got to work and spent an afternoon putting up some black iron pipe, wall mounted clothing racks.
You just have to find your wall studs to figure out how what pipe lengths you'll need. You can buy them at Home Depot or Lowe's where they will cut the pipe & thread it for you. I found the elbow joints & flanges (wall mounts) at Ace.We spent about $80.

that's cute and very creative.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and am trying to replicate it in my new place. What size pipe did you use?
ReplyDeleteWe used 1 1/2" pipe which seems like the perfect size.
Deleteim trying to do the same thing in my bedroom but i am a little confused. Did you use one pipe that was half an inch or a pipe that was one and a half inches?
DeleteLengths of pipe that are one and a half inches in diameter. It was very easy to find the fittings for that size of pipe & it's holding up beautifully. Hope it works for you!
Deletewhat size pipe did you use?
ReplyDeleteThere are many different options to choose from. If you prefer something original you can even make a clothing rack by yourself. All you need is a wooden log and something to hang it from.
ReplyDeletehow far off of the wall does it extend/what is the depth?
ReplyDelete12" pipes plus a bit more for the fittings so about 13 total.
DeleteDid this end up staying attached to the wall? I am wondering if the screws are able to handle the weigh on an extended basis?
ReplyDeleteStill working great!
DeleteThat's great to hear! I'm working with a 110 year old house and im a little weary that the screws will end up ripping out of the studs due to the weight (unless i add a pipe that goes down to the floor). hopefully it holds up for me!
DeleteJust make sure you check for studs. Or whatever the equivalent might be for a house built that long ago! Send pictures when you get it finished!
DeleteSorry i just want to ask you about the part which the screws linked in (=the end of pipe in wall side ) ,where i can fined it ?
ReplyDeleteThey are called flanges. We got ours at Ace similar to this. Just make sure to buy the smae size as the pipe you use. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=29842336
DeleteMuch thanks :) I hope I'll make it neat as yours
DeleteWe still love ours! Send me pictures when you finish!
