How to Install Shelves and Clothing Rods
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Cut the Boards
Measure 70" up from the floor for the shelves. Scribe a line at the measurement to indicate the placement of a support cleat, and cut a 1 x 4 to length on the miter saw.
Step 2: Install the Cleats
Position a cleat and attach it with the help of a trim nailer. Repeat the process until all the cleats are installed.
Step 3: Place the Shelves
Measure the inside of each stall to obtain the width of each shelf. Cut a standard 1 x 12 to size with a circular saw, and slide the shelves into place. Anchor the shelves to the cleats to secure it.
Step 4: Install the Brackets
To determine the location of the clothing rod, measure down from the shelf and mark the position of the rod brackets. Install the brackets with a single screw on each.
Step 5: Place the Rods
Measure between the cleats for the length of the rod, and use a reciprocating saw to cut the rod to the appropriate length. Drop the rod into place to complete the stalls.
