If you want a closet organizer in your home, why not build it yourself? You do not need the services of a professional or even have any carpentry skills to do this chore. Building a closet organizer can be done as easily as putting together a chest of drawers. As long as you can follow instructions, and have some simple DIY know how, then building your closet organizer couldn’t be easier. So get your hammer at the ready and prepare to turn that messy closet into an organized space for all your possessions.
Making sure you choose the perfect closet organizer is important. You need to measure your space precisely and make sure you choose a closet organizer which will cater to your needs. Although building a closet organizer is a relatively easy task for someone with a little knowledge of DIY, it should not be undertaken by those who are not familiar with tools such as drills and hammers. The building of a closet organizer will require the use of some tools and these should always be handled safely by persons who know what they are doing.
The easiest type of closet organizer to fit would be one with hanging rails and some shelves. The first step when building a closet organizer is to eliminate all the original fittings in the closet, whether they were shelves, hanging rails, and doors. For a deep closet you would need to hang the rails from the door to the wall at the back of the closet but for closets that are shallow, you should assemble the rails from one side of the closet to the other.
The next step is to add shelf supports at the top of the walls, usually 84 inches from the floor in closets which have an eight foot ceiling. This will allow for a top shelf. If you want to add more shelves, then the ideal placing for the supports would be to measure down 8-12 inches from the other supports.
Adding the hanging rails is s relatively simple job. Simply measure where the height at which you want your rails to be and screw in the fixings. The rail provided can then be slotted into the fixings on the walls. For more extravagant accessories, simply follow the instructions provided.
