Closet Too Shallow For Hangers

In the meantime hang the suit jackets in another closet.

Closet too shallow for hangers.

What can i do with this thing. 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. If your existing closet rod is at least 66 in. I ve thought about trying to rotate the rod.

Or buy a new one cut into 2 equal lengths to the depth of closet. We placed the top of the rod 35 in. Get wood for support at studs and put the 3 4 circle usually plastic or wooden dowel holders into those wooden reinforcements. I would cut the dowel bar you hang the coats on to fit depthwise so there is 2 dowels instead of one.

Some homeowners remove the closet doors altogether but that s not ideal. My guest bedroom has an extra shallow closet 15 inches deep. From the floor which allowed just enough room to hang two levels of pants. Hold several hangers with heavy items such as jeans on so can take some weight.

Locate studs on the back wall of the closet with a stud finder. 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. Built in wardrobes too shallow for standard coat hanger these are brilliant. Try buying some new plastic hangers and move the hanging rod if necessary to squeeze into the 17 inch space.
