Closet Too Shallow For Hangers

Some homeowners remove the closet doors altogether but that s not ideal.

Closet too shallow for hangers.

Hold several hangers with heavy items such as jeans on so can take some weight. Try buying some new plastic hangers and move the hanging rod if necessary to squeeze into the 17 inch space. I would cut the dowel bar you hang the coats on to fit depthwise so there is 2 dowels instead of one. Get wood for support at studs and put the 3 4 circle usually plastic or wooden dowel holders into those wooden reinforcements.

What can i do with this thing. Locate studs on the back wall of the closet with a stud finder. Built in wardrobes too shallow for standard coat hanger these are brilliant. Or buy a new one cut into 2 equal lengths to the depth of closet.

On sep 28 2017. From the floor there s enough space to add a second rod below it and still hang shirts and slacks. I have had these in use for quite a while now. I ve thought about trying to rotate the rod.

It needs to remain a closet but i need an alternate method to hang clothes. If your existing closet rod is at least 66 in. This is too narrow for a hanger so clothes hung on the rod end up being angled rubbing against the back wall and the door etc. From the floor which allowed just enough room to hang two levels of pants.

My guest bedroom has an extra shallow closet 15 inches deep.
