Handy information to help you with installing the Closet Rod.
| | Decide how much weight you'll need this closet rod to support. Your choices may be anything from a simple tension rod for hanging a few light items in a narrow closet to a heavy wooden pole whose supports are attached to wall studs for holding heavy clothes in a wider space. |
| | Inspect the area where you'll attach the rod supports. For a wooden pole, the rod supports are typically round plates that attach flat to the wall, with a place for the ends of the rod to fit in. |
| | Choose appropriate hardware to attach the supports to the wall. There are different sorts of anchors to attach to plaster, drywall, wood, or even brick or masonry. |
| | Choose a rod that can be adjusted to fit into the closet space. Or have a wooden rod cut, or cut it yourself to fit into the space. |
| | Choose a height to hang the rod. This can vary depending on a number of factors: the length of the clothes, whether you're going to hang another rod below the first one, and whether this is a child's closet, among other things. |
| | Choose a depth for the rod - how far it will hang from the back wall of the closet. |
| | Measure from the back wall to where you'll anchor the rod. Make a light pencil mark on one side of the rod support. This is only for depth, not height. |
| | Measure from the floor up to where you'll anchor the rod, on each wall, at the depth you just marked. Make a light pencil mark at the bottom of the rod support when you've measured. |
| | Attach the rod supports to the walls with the appropriate anchors. |
| | Place the rod in the supports |
