Installation of Do It Yourself Closet Organizers
I believe this have happen to you before where you are unable to find your clothes in a real hurry? With just a little planning, you are able to transform your most disorganized closets into your best organizer companion. Your organizers must be neat and tidy so that it is efficient enough to help organize and store your pants, shirts and shoes etc.
Getting organized is not a big secret of the world. All you need to do it to install a closet organizer, be it custom made or DIY style, you need to install it either with the installation manual or with the help of workers, if it is custom made.
Read on and I will guide you along with it and I will guarantee you an organized closet organizer. If you have an old organizer, I suggest you to discard it away first before you DIY your own new closet organizer. Firstly, clear out the closet organizer you want to organize which also includes all the old shelves, rods and doors. This is also a good chance for you to get rid of any stuff that you do not want to keep and make space for new items. It also makes refilling so much easier at the later stage.
Secondly, after removing the old one, there will definitely be holes on the wall left behind and you will need to remove it. All you need is just some compound and a small knife to fill those holes up which those old organizers left behind. Then allow the compound to dry thoroughly, thereafter you will sand them smooth and then apply a thin coat of paint over it to have a better wall protection.
Thirdly, mark on the wall of the position you want your closet organizer to be set up. You will need to measure 2 inches from the ceiling downwards and then also marking a level line on the position you want to mount the closet hanging tracks. All these are to be done to prepare for the drilling process.
Fourthly, after you had marked out the area or the new position, you can then start the drilling of holes to mount the hanging tracks. One of the most important steps to take is mounting the closet hanging tracks, if not you are unable to hang your clothes in the closet organizers. Another thing to take note is that if you realize that the hanging tracks is taking on too much weight, you must narrow down the spacing between them to make the hanging tracks stronger and able to withstand more weight without giving you problems.
Fifthly, you will need to install the shelves. Start from the bottom up, choose the space between the floor and the bottom shelf and then continue installing the shelves at intervals appropriate for what you intend to store in the closet.
Last of all, after all setting up is done, the last thing you will to do is to install the hanging rod in the closet organizer for you to hang your clothes. The hanging rod also strengthen the closet structure as a whole. If you want too, you can also reinforce the tracks with toggle bolts too. You are done with the installation, happy getting organize and find your things whenever you need it even in a hurry.
