How To Install A Closet Rod And Shelf

[@nikkibrewer1077]

I want to thank the creator for making an easy to follow video on this. My father passed before he was able to teach me everything I needed to know about making a house a home and our wire closet has collapsed twice now! Thank you ❤

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped

Thankyou for your video. I had problems finding the stud along the wall and your tip to drill on an angle saved me. Just completed two rod installs.

[@mikemactavish1665]

Suggestions, paint the wood before installation . . . if you put a shelf in, make sure you position the rod such that allows enough room for clothes hangers to go on and off with ease . . . good video thanks

[@MrNathan791]

Thanks for the good advice. You would need room between shelf and hangers.

[@tjkong4381]

How much room would you say to have?

[@Femur15]

That’s great wisdom. You don’t want to be finishing the material post mounting.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for to hang clothes in my laundry room and add storage. Great instructions!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@datasciyinfo5133]

Thanks. Drilling screws to sides makes sense. One tip, the space for hangers is too narrow (between rod and shelf lip). I would suggest adding 3" to top if you are going to have a shelf going across.

[@changingtheworldonelifeatt2949]

Great information, but here’s an embarrassing question 😀- How do I add a shorter rod/section for dresses? know I’ve seen this done, but I don’t know how to attach the “dividing board” to the wall behind it? Would I use the same concept you used here (attach the vertical dividing board to a horizontal section that was previously attached to the wall)? A design like this- Divider Rod for. . Rod #1. Board. Dresses. Wall --------l---------------l Rod #2. I. I --------I. Dresses. I I ----------------------- Floor

[@alanshmahlen21]

What do you do when no studs are possible even in the corners? I'm working with a closet that is breaking my brain, as it seems to have boards on the sides just nailed into the hollow drywall. No corner studs. No anchors. But it has held up for almost 40 years?! I just need to install more shelves and I have no idea how the old boards are secured to the wall properly.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

I would say that if it has been up for 40 years it must be nailed or screwed into a stud somewhere.

[@alanshmahlen21]

@@getitdonehomerepair I am close to getting a portable x-ray machine to see what the heck is going on. I put super thin nails into the wall at every point where the existing boards have nails, and there are no studs. The only place it might be nailed into studs are the back 2 corners, because the fronts of the boards don't extend all the way to the opening where another frame would be.

[@lime_7_]

Too funny!

[@dude202020rd]

What were the measurements for the wood pieces that you used including the shelf 1 ×4 ?

[@mosqo2007]

Love it what size of wood is that so I can know what to buy

[@getitdonehomerepair]

The shelf is 3/4 inch x 12 inch pine and the supports are 3/4 x 3 or 4 inches.

[@genarosuarez6596]

is it wise to use PL glue ?to put in the wood before screw into the drywall?

[@MuncilJonathan]

Great video, but my only question is: how do you install the shelf on top? Do you use wood glue or do you screw/nail it to the wood below?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Actually the shelf just lays on top. Good question.

[@skankie3249]

question sir. so my closet has left side dry wall right side is brick. main wall for the center board has no stud because behind the wall is brick maybe 6 inches from it. weird structure of a house. but what would be good supports i DO NOT want the middle of the board bending over time because of lack of support.

[@chrispycreme5440]

Great video! How long should the screws be that are securing the pole holders in the 2x4? I'm assuming less than 2" so it doesn't go all the way through the 2x4 to the wall behind?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Yes 1.5-2 inches.Thanks for watching.

[@timleonard2361]

What is the purpose of angling the screws down? I noticed in the beginning of this video the first few screws were angled down just wondered why. Thank you!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Actually the were angled so that they would be sure to screw into the wall/closet studs. Good question.

[@nanp9582]

I love this video! Can I ask you when the brackets would come into place? We are going to do this in a really long walk in closet. Can you give me some suggestions for that?

[@yolandagomez9255]

I have a question. I made an assembly just as you did. I used a metal rod with a shelf and the support brackets on each side. But I also put 2 support brackets in the middle of the wall, do I really need the brackets in the middle?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

If the rod and shelf are long it is a good idea to have at least one support

[@marylut6077]

At time stamp 7:54, you skipped over measuring to make sure the rod is low enough from the shelf that you get the hanger out and rod is far enough from back of closet the hanger will hang straight

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for watching

[@jeffzest8393]

If rod falls down and need to replace socket, how do you get the rod to fit again since the rod will be too long until the socket is screwed in and cannot screw in the socket after placing rod in it? Without cutting. Thanks!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Can you send me a picture of the problem?

[@edwardparker9674]

Can I just use the butterfly on place of the wood

[@tonytucker8651]

Very well explained SUSCRIBED!!

[@ShenaSells]

How do you identify where the beams and studs are to secure the wood with a drywall screw for the shelve to go on top?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

You will need to use a stud finder. Take a look in my Amazon store below the video to see what they look like,

[@haroldhaywood4932]

Excellent video. Is that a 2x6?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

No actually it is 3/4 by 3 or 4 inches. Good question.

[@chase9558]

Well..the only question I had is how far from the back wall to the vent or end of the poll socket..and I didn’t get an answer 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bradleylangford2826]

I noticed you never used drywall anchors. Would it be stronger if I used anchors or it wouldn’t make a difference?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Good question. Drywall anchors are ok for light duty but screwing directly into the wood that is screwed into a stud is stronger.

[@themotherspassport4458]

Does the cleat size matter. I am redoing my sons closet. And saved the cleats. But was hoping I could cut them length wise to be 1.5 to 2 inches vs the 5.5 inches it it’s in thickness

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Yes you can cut them down but I would make them at least 2-2.5 inches. Thanks for watching.

[@henryli520]

Technically, I would call the vertical stud(s), instead of beam behind the dry wall.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for your input . You are correct they are studs. Thanks for watching.

[@a983u02u798nvbjibih2]

I have a closet that is 8 feet wide. If I want to put a shelf across it, will installing these beams on 3 sides be enough to support it? Or should I put some kind of support in the middle?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@timlyons5029]

If there is no stud to screw the board into, can I use a wall anchor?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Yes you can but it will not hold as well as if you screw into the studs. You should have studs in the corners.

[@marylut6077]

Would you paint the boards before screwing into the wall?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

That is personal preference but it would be easier to paint before you install it. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub.

[@ercokatty]

Thank you!

[@Sxemomee]

Is it possible to use drywall anchors that hold significant amount or weight for the rod?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

It may hold for a short time but not permanently.
