Do It Yourself - Build A Closet

If you have storage problems installing a closet is a good method of fixing this problem. In several instances you can make a current closet more efficient by putting in more shelves and rods. However, even in a place that had no closet before, building a closet is pretty simple so if you choose to install a closet, here is a basic outline for assisting you do it. We'll suppose that you already have walls for your closet and the closet itself is all you have to install. Here is what you will require:

Required Tools

Nail gun

Air compressor

Drill

Stud finder

Tape measure

Chalk/pencil

Chop saw

Required Materials

Closet Materials

1-2 inch brad nails

1x4 boards

1 inch brad nails

Rod holders

Screws

Closet rod

Rod support brackets

Instructions

Initially utilize the tape measure to decide how much room you have for the closet. Conclude on how many shelves you will need, how many rods for clothes, how many door will be necessary, the swing of the door, and how much and what kind of material you will need to make the closet.

Use the chalk or pencil to trace the design of the closet on the wall where the closet will be so that you have a rough concept of how each piece will be placed and fit together. Use the stud finder to find where the studs are in the wall and mark them with the chalk so you can easily locate them later on.

With the chop saw, incise your closet supplies to the needed length and then proceed to insert the compressor and nail gun. Fill up the nail gun using the brad nails and you are ready to go. Begin by placing up the 1x4 boards and fastening them into the studs that were previously marked. Cut the shelving material you purchased for the closet to suit the design you chose and use the 1 inch nails to affix them to the 1x4 stringers you attached to the walls.

Now utilize the drill to screw the rod holders into the 1x4 side stringers and then sever the closet rod if needed to get it to hold and insert it into the rod holders. It will act as a support for your closet shelves and rods. Then use the drill and 1 inch screws to put up the rod support brackets a maximum of 3 feet apart; all that is left now is to install the different shelves and your new closet is set for use.

As far as the door goes, utilize drywall to cover the space over where the door will be and then put in whichever door you prefer.

Tips

Sliding doors or outward swinging doors are recommended as swinging doors. Since it may be hard to open when all the shelves and your clothes are put in.

Apply putty to fill out any rough spots when you are finished.3
