Closet Too Shallow For Hangers

From the floor which allowed just enough room to hang two levels of pants.

Closet too shallow for hangers.

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. Get wood for support at studs and put the 3 4 circle usually plastic or wooden dowel holders into those wooden reinforcements. If your existing closet rod is at least 66 in. Try buying some new plastic hangers and move the hanging rod if necessary to squeeze into the 17 inch space.

In the meantime hang the suit jackets in another closet. I have had these in use for quite a while now. 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. We placed the top of the rod 35 in.

My guest bedroom has an extra shallow closet 15 inches deep. I ve thought about trying to rotate the rod. Locate studs on the back wall of the closet with a stud finder. I would cut the dowel bar you hang the coats on to fit depthwise so there is 2 dowels instead of one.

What can i do with this thing. It needs to remain a closet but i need an alternate method to hang clothes. 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.
