Closet Too Shallow For Hangers

From the floor there s enough space to add a second rod below it and still hang shirts and slacks.

Closet too shallow for hangers.

What can i do with this thing. Get wood for support at studs and put the 3 4 circle usually plastic or wooden dowel holders into those wooden reinforcements. In the meantime hang the suit jackets in another closet. Hold several hangers with heavy items such as jeans on so can take some weight.

Built in wardrobes too shallow for standard coat hanger these are brilliant. My guest bedroom has an extra shallow closet 15 inches deep. Try buying some new plastic hangers and move the hanging rod if necessary to squeeze into the 17 inch space. We placed the top of the rod 35 in.

From the floor which allowed just enough room to hang two levels of pants. 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. Or buy a new one cut into 2 equal lengths to the depth of closet. Some homeowners remove the closet doors altogether but that s not ideal.

It needs to remain a closet but i need an alternate method to hang clothes. I have had these in use for quite a while now. The problem with a shallow closet is that when a closet rod is installed from end to end as closet rods typically are you can t fit clothes hangers on the rod and still close the closet door. I ve thought about trying to rotate the rod.

I would cut the dowel bar you hang the coats on to fit depthwise so there is 2 dowels instead of one.
