DIY wood hanger

In ordinary apartments, the corridors are small and every room inch counts when designing the room. Therefore, many prefer not to overload the space with wardrobes, but mount a regular hanger made of wood or other material with their own hands. If you include fantasy, you can come up with your original model, or find something unusual on the net.

Why is it better to use wood for hangers

Wood is used in all areas of construction - this is one of the most popular materials, which has a lot of advantages:

• environmental friendliness is the most fundamental plus for many people who care about their health;
• the presence of essential oils with antiseptic effect, which are released into the atmosphere of the apartment;
• regulation of temperature and humidity in the room;
• esthetic appearance even without the use of decorative coatings;
• low cost and general availability.

Wood is an ideal material for hangers of own manufacture, for this very reason home craftsmen choose wood of various species ...

What material is needed and what is required?

At the moment, in construction stores there is a large assortment of tools that can be purchased for the manufacture of hangers in the hallway, you need:

• a hacksaw or jigsaw;
• hammer and screwdriver;
• hammer drill or hammer drill;
• sandpaper;
• measuring instrument and pencil;
• brush or roller - for decorating.

From materials:

• board, bar;
• fasteners;
• hooks;
• paint or varnish;
• primer and antiseptic impregnation.

Material should be bought with a margin so that during the manufacturing process you do not have to run to the store.

What is a wall hanger?

These are elements that have almost the same design and are fixed to the wall in the hallway. Usually this is a wooden plank with several hooks for clothes.

Wall hangers can be vertical and horizontal. The first option takes up less space and visually increases the height of the corridor. The second option allows you to install a wooden bedside table or shoe rack at the bottom - these are quite compact models.

Wall hangers can be equipped with shelves for various items, such as hats and gloves. The design of the wall hanger is quite simple and any layman can mount it in a few hours using photo drawings.

What is a floor hanger?

Floor hangers are racks or tripods, structures which do not need to be screwed to the wall, which greatly simplifies the installation of the structure.

There are several types of similar products:

• closed - with a cover for clothes;
• open;
• Mobile
• stationary;
• transformers.

The most popular are open mobile devices, which do not take up much space, and if necessary, they can easily be moved to another place with clothes, especially if the design is equipped with wheels. They are often used in large walk-in closets to save space.

REFERENCE! Transformers floor hangers are bought by those who periodically have guests in the house - they are equipped with additional compartments for clothes and shoes.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a hanger with your own hands

With your own hands you can make any practical hanger for the hallway. Consider how to mount an outdoor tripod, which does not take up much space in a small space of the corridor. The following materials will be required for this model:

• a wooden block with a section of 15x10 cm, a length of about 70 cm, but more fashionable. If there is no bar, then you can use any metal support, for example, from a large Christmas tree. It is important that she is strong and stable and does not fall under the weight of clothes;
• a column of wood. You can buy a figure product on the construction market or make it yourself from a bar or a dry trunk of a small tree. The bark is removed from it and processed with an emery cloth to perfect smoothness;
• several metal hooks;
• a few pieces of rubber, which should be glued to the cross in the places where it touches the floor to prevent scratching the surface;
• five board, which will be screwed to the crosspiece to strengthen the structure.

Installation of the product begins with the arrangement of the cross, for this:

• cut the bars into the necessary segments, process with sandpaper to remove bumps;
• connect the elements at right angles exactly in the middle and circle both bars with a pencil;
• a chisel to choose half of each bar, in places of marks across the entire width;
• connect the segments, it is desirable that there is no play;
• prepare four pieces of the board that will be attached to the stand and each leg of the crosspiece to increase the rigidity and stability of the hanger.

Now you can begin to manufacture the trunk, on which the clothes will hang.

1. prepare the beam, pre-treating it with an emery cloth.
2. Screw to the cross with long screws from the bottom.
3. Attach support jibs to each leg and trunk.
4. If you plan to put a lot of clothes on the hanger, you should strengthen the tip. To do this, on each side, a small section of the timber is fixed with an indentation of 5-8 cm from the top.
5. Now it's time to get down to the decor of the product: cover it with a stain and clear varnish.
6. As soon as the tripod hanger is dry, rubber pieces are glued to the mounting cross on the mounting glue, and the required number of hooks is fixed at the top.

A simple design for storing clothes is ready.

Experts give some useful recommendations that will greatly facilitate the assembly process:

• Before screwing a self-tapping screw into the wood, equip a small recess with a drill. This will allow the fasteners to be screwed in flush, while microcracks will not appear on the tree, which can expand during operation;
• the diameter of the drill is selected in accordance with the cross section of the screw head;
• to strengthen the fastener, the recess before screwing is filled with carpentry glue;
• after the rubber bands are glued to the bottom, make sure the structure is stable.

If there is not enough space for a tripod in the hallway, build a simple wall hanger from an edged board, for this:

1. Prepare a piece of wood, processing it to smoothness.
2. Mark with a pencil the attachment points of the hooks - in a line or in a checkerboard pattern.
3. Drill with a drill of the required diameter, arrange the holes in the places of the set marks.
4. Decorate the product to your liking. It can be decoupage, coloring or staining, it all depends on the interior of the corridor.
5. Fasten the hooks to the board with bolts and nuts.
6. The last step will be to fix the finished horizontal wall hanger to the surface - this process is carried out using a hammer drill and dowels.

There is another option for manufacturing a product for storing clothes made of pallets:

The pallet must be disassembled into separate elements that are cleaned of dust and dirt, treated with sandpaper to a perfectly flat surface.

REFERENCE! There are certain options for attaching individual elements to each other, but we will consider the simplest and most affordable.

1. Take two pallets that will serve as a bonding base. Mark them. To do this, lay the lamellas perpendicular to the elements and outline them with a simple pencil.
2. On the top of each element, arrange the holes for the hooks and fix them on pallets.
3. Using self-tapping screws on a tree of optimal length, fasten separate strips on 2 main elements at the same distance from each other.
4. Decorate the surface of the hanger with a stain or paint.
5. Fix the finished product on the wall - the hanger from the pallet is ready.

Finally

Making a wooden hanger with your own hands is quite simple, in some cases you don’t even need to buy material for manufacture, since almost every owner has a couple of wooden elements in their arsenal that are idle.
