Everyone knows the saying that “theater begins with a coat rack.” It is worth saying that not only in public institutions the hanger plays an important role, but also in apartments and houses. After all, the absence of this important piece of furniture can cause chaos in the hallway. Today there are many different hangers of different shapes and designs on sale, but it will not be difficult to make and on our own from scrap materials. We'll tell you how to do this further.

Wood is usually used to make clothes hangers. But not everyone the material is suitable for this. You should choose the most dried and durable wood. If the material is not properly dried, then after a while it may lose its shape. Of all types of wood for hangers, it is recommended to give preference to pine. This material is good because it is easy to process and at the same time has no heavy weight. If you decide to use solid oak, you should take into account that it is more difficult to process and is heavier. The parts of a wooden hanger are usually joined together using glue. Some important requirements are similarly imposed on it. By the way, glue in the presence of undried wood may lose its adhesion due to the release of moisture from the material.

The choice of hanger shape plays a very important role. It should be taken into account that this piece of furniture requires at least three supports, the length of which directly depends on the height of the product. Thus, it turns out that the higher the hanger, the more massive and more supports it should have. Often this product is intended not only for outerwear, but also for trouser suits, in order to store all clothes in one place. For this purpose, the width of the hanger is usually made larger than usual. Thus, many different clothes can fit here.

When you have decided on the hanger model, you should draw a diagram that will indicate exact dimensions future product. Moreover, it is advisable to describe the dimensions of even the smallest details. This will come in handy during the manufacture of the product. When the diagram is ready, you can begin installing a wooden floor hanger for clothes.

DIY floor clothes hanger

To make the product you need:

• saw,
• drill,
• sandpaper,
• chisel.

Necessary materials:

• bars of the required sizes,
• boards,
• wood glue,
• screws,
• stain for processing the product,

When you have all this, you can start working. It is advisable to decide in advance on the shade of the future product. In general, light wood can be painted in almost any tone. To do this, it is enough to apply stain until the surface of the hanger is the desired shade. When covering with stain or varnish, some kind of substrate should be placed under the product. Otherwise, drops may accidentally fall on the floor. Varnish should be used only after completely dry stains. In general, due to its strong odor, it is best to work with varnish in a room that is well ventilated or, in general, in outdoors. After opening the varnish, the product should be wiped with a rag soaked in a weak solution of vinegar.

Let's take a closer look at the order of work:

1. First you need to prepare the wood. In particular, the tree trunk is cleared of bark and rough knots. Under no circumstances should the bark be left, no matter how much you would like to give the product more natural look. After all, if you leave it, it will gradually crumble, thereby creating an additional reason for cleaning the room. In addition, the bark is often a habitat for small insects.
2. The bark can be removed with an ax or knife. After this, you should go over the wood several times, first with coarse and then with fine sandpaper. The surface should eventually become smooth, at least to prevent clothes from clinging to the knots.
3. After this, the base of the product should be made. It is worth saying that it is advisable to make all the elements of the hanger (legs and tripod) one whole. You shouldn't start with the cross. Otherwise, if you then attach the hanger itself to it, the structure may become loose over time. Must be adhered to next rule– the lower edge of the tripod must be made on the same plane as the sole of the legs.
4. After this, you can proceed to measuring the diameter of the barrel. Measurements taken will be needed to select a bar of suitable width. If the block is wider than necessary, then you can saw it lengthwise with a hacksaw to the required size.
5. Typically, the height of a hanger is about 1.7 m. For a product of this height, the cross should have overhangs of about 30-32 cm. Therefore, a pair of bars 65 cm long will be needed. They will need to be cut in half to make four pieces about 30-32 cm long.
6. The hardest part is attaching the legs to the round trunk. If you simply attach the bars, the structure will turn out to be unstable, and after the first fall, it will most likely fall apart. It is better to place the tripod on the floor and attach the leg blanks to it. To connect them, you will need to make triangular wooden inserts. Then they are attached to the bars using self-tapping screws.
7. To strengthen the product in the places where the triangular elements are attached to the legs and barrel, you need to drill a hole with a diameter several millimeters smaller than the diameter of the fastener. It will need to be filled with glue later. Only after this can you screw in the screws. Sometimes, to make the structure more stable, the holes, in addition to glue, are also filled with pieces of rubber.
8. To give the finished hanger functionality, you should add hooks for outerwear. They can be made at some distance from the trunk. One thing to keep in mind here important rule. To prevent the structure from falling, the center of gravity of the clothes hung on the hanger should not be outside the crosspiece.
9. Hooks can be used both homemade and decorative. In any case, they cannot be attached directly to a tripod, because the floor clothes hanger will quickly wear out and become unusable. You can do this: take the bars and cut out a square with a side slightly larger than the diameter of the trunk. Initially, the hooks are attached to this square of wood, and then to the product itself. Thus, they will be securely fastened, and at the same time they will not come into contact with the “body” of the product, which, thanks to such a device, will last longer. This is especially useful for wardrobe racks that are used quite frequently.

You can decide for yourself which hooks to use - decorative or homemade. However, if you make them yourself from wire, they will not have a very attractive appearance. Therefore, it is better to give preference to decorative hooks purchased in the store. They are usually attached to wood with a pair of self-tapping screws. If you have the necessary skills, you can use a chisel to cut out square-shaped holes, where you should then “hide” the hooks. It will look better than simply mounting it on self-tapping screws. When the hooks are in place, you need to connect the square wooden insert to the top of the product using several self-tapping screws.

As for the hanger itself, it can be painted or varnished. Choose a shade to suit your taste, but it is better to match the style of decoration of the room where the wooden floor hanger for the hallway will be located. A layer of paint or varnish is applied at least twice.

The base for a wooden floor hanger must be sufficiently heavy and stable. You can use it as the bottom of a floor lamp, the frame of a floor fan, or buy a stand for a Christmas tree.

Wooden floor-mounted suit hanger

The hanger described above is not suitable for men's suits. Therefore, products of a slightly different design are made for them. Wood is similarly used as the main material. To assemble such a hanger, you must first measure and cut the blanks according to the specified dimensions. They are then carefully processed and polished. After that, mounting holes are made in the required places.

Next, according to the diagram, the product itself is assembled and completed finishing. All that remains is to attach pieces of rubber or wheels to the base. A little more detail about assembling such a hanger: first, the vertical posts are screwed to the base using 4 large screws. Then a strip is inserted between these supports and screwed using small screws. Next, a trouser holder is inserted into the holes of the vertical posts. To securely fix it, you will need a mallet. After this, the structure is screwed to vertical posts using four screws. Then the hangers are screwed on. The suit hanger is ready for use.

How to make a wall hanger

The basis of such a hanger is a shield on which hooks are placed. It can be made either solid or lattice. For the last option you will need less material, and besides, it is lighter. To assemble such a shield, take a pair of bars and attach them parallel to each other using dowels. After this, vertical planks about 8 cm wide are nailed to them, and hooks are attached to the boards.

The dimensions of such a hanger can be different and mainly depend on the dimensions of the wall and the entire room. If you wish, you can decorate it beautifully: varnish, paint or cover it with self-adhesive film. In any case, do not forget to properly process the ends and edges so that there are no rough spots left. If you wish, you can use metal corners to make a shelf in the form of a board about 25 cm wide in the upper part of the hanger, where hats will be stored. If the hanger is made to the full height of the wall, then a shelf for shoes is usually installed in the lower part. For reliability, it is advisable to install 5x5 bars from below that will support this shelf.

Wooden floor hangers: photo

You can't do without a hanger in the hallway. Of course, outerwear can be hung directly in the closet, but this takes longer and is not so practical. The wall hanger is very convenient for narrow and small hallways; it is quite roomy and does not take up much space.

We offer you 5 master classes on making wall hangers with your own hands from available materials: wood, leather, branches or pipes, as well as inspiring photo ideas.

This hanger will display the phrase “I can also cross-stitch” in every sense, show your creativity and become good decoration Houses.

Materials

In order to create it, you will need the following materials:

Step 5: Insert Fasteners

1. On the back of the board, insert the fasteners that will be used to hang the board from the wall. They should be located symmetrically to each other, relative to the middle of the board.
2. Here we used hooks that are screwed into previously drilled holes. They are easy to attach, the main thing is that they have the appropriate diameter.

Create your own design - choose the color, paint with patterns, choose the location of the hooks, as well as their color and size. All is ready!

From copper pipe

This hanger is especially suitable for hat lovers. It is difficult to find a place for them where they can be stored and not wrinkled; it takes up too much space in the closet. This is an excellent option for direct use – for clothing and for decorating a room. Of course, in addition to hats, a clothes hanger will also fit here.

Necessary materials:

• Copper pipe
• Scissors
• Clothespins
• Rope

Step-by-step instruction:

Step 1: Prepare the base

Cut the rope to a size large enough to hang the hanger. Pass the rope through the copper pipe.

Step 2: Attach Hat Hanging Strings

Cut a few more pieces of rope and tie them onto the pipe, leaving enough space between them so that the hats do not interfere with each other later.

Step 3: Hang the hanger

Attach the ends of the rope with copper pipe to the wall or ceiling (for this there must be hooks or a pipe). Attach clothespins to the ropes hanging from the pipe; now you can hang hats on them. You can also hang a clothes hanger on the pipe.

ADVICE: Choose the length of the pipe depending on the amount of free space on the wall, hats and clothing.

As you can see, it is done very quickly, even in half an hour you can do it, and it looks very original.

Leather belt hanger

This wall hanger is suitable for the hallway, kitchen, and bathroom. The type is similar to the hanger described in the previous master class, but its use is more universal. It will beautifully complement the interior of your apartment, while requiring very little effort and time to make.

Necessary materials:

• Leather belts (2 pieces of fairly soft leather)
• Two small pieces of leather (harder)
• Wooden stick (from a tree branch)
• S-hooks
• Scissors
• Thread and needle (suitable for leather)
• Leather punch

Step-by-step instruction:

Step 1: Preparing the belts

1. Trim to required length two leather belts, they must be the same. Wrap the strap around the stick and mark how much you need to wrap around it.
2. In the place where the belt meets after the girth, it needs to be sewn to fix the stick so that it does not fall out. Do the same with the second belt.
3. To prevent the seam from being visible, make decorative leather straps: use a narrow strap to wrap the strap attached to the stick, at the seam, and sew it, connecting the ends (the same with the second strap).

Step 2: Attach the hanger

Using a leather punch, make holes on top of the belts (in the center of the width), using which you can hang this structure on the wall or ceiling (on previously attached hooks).

Step 3: Hanging Hooks

Hang on a wooden stick required quantity S-shaped hooks and hanger are ready for use.

From branches and cuts

Branches and cuttings are excellent material for wall hangers. First of all, it’s very affordable! And secondly, wood will never go out of style and will perfectly complement the style of any apartment!

You can make many crafts for your home from branches - more on that in the article .

From pallets

If you are going to make a wall hanger and choose a cheap and quick option, then a hanger from wooden planks or pallets - this is exactly what you need. If you think that it will look ordinary and unoriginal, look at the selection of photos below and make sure that from these materials you can create a truly unique thing that will decorate the interior of your apartment.

Select paint (or simply treat the wood with an antiseptic, preserving the natural color), hooks, give the board the desired shape, come up with your own own way decorate the boards.

More complex hangers can be made from wood. More precisely, it’s not even a matter of complexity, they are labor-intensive, you need to spend more time on them.

Technology for making hangers from improvised means

Having summed up all the master classes, I would like to derive a single formula for making and being creative with hangers. It can be roughly divided:

• The basis- can be any item from a finished board to old items.
• Hooks for hangers- you don’t have to buy them, you can remove them from coat hangers.

Basics from improvised means

You can also use things for making that, at first glance, are not at all suitable for this: skis, oars, rulers, etc. how much imagination is enough? A wonderful way to find a use for things lying around in the pantry.

Hooks for hangers

Hooks also do not have to be standard (although their range of choice is quite wide). Start looking at things with the thought “where else can you be used?” I'm sure that with a little training, interesting ideas they will start to come more and more often, and this applies not only to hangers, of course.

Attach individual hooks to the wall; their design should look like a decorative element, even if there is nothing on them.

Wall Hangers Ideas

Designers are increasingly coming up with ideas for creative and functional clothes hangers. Sometimes their designs are quite elementary and not difficult to do at home.

Metal, of course, is more difficult to work with, but if you want to create such a hanger, it will not be difficult. Make branches in the shape of a tree or hang hangers on a pipe - the result will be durable and functional.

All these photos are a piece of what you can create with your own hands. Take the elements you like, combine them, and most importantly, have fun with it all!

Can be easily done with your own hands. It is often used not only in residential apartments both at home and in offices. Of course, such an item can be purchased at a relevant store, but quite often the cost of a hanger is high and not all models are suitable in color and size. This item is perfect solution for the hallway that doesn't have enough free space. Such designs, which can be purchased in a store, most often have two sides for easy access (out of four). The coat hanger-hook does not have such shortcomings; purchasing and fixing it is as easy as shelling pears. Often, in its manufacture, accessible hooks are used, which are located as close as possible, this subsequently makes it difficult to access the other sides. Ultimately, the floor hanger ends up loaded on one side, which quite often causes it to fall. This is due to the fact that the structure has a too high center of gravity. You may have noticed that not all hangers have hooks for hats and bags. That is why you can come up with your own design, taking into account all the shortcomings of factory products.

Preparation of materials and tools

floor hanger can be performed by any novice master. However, initially it is necessary to prepare a set of tools and materials, among them: self-tapping screws, laminated chipboard, a rotating mechanism, confirmations, a jigsaw, and an edge.

Design features

So, your choice is a floor clothes hanger. By making it yourself, you can save money, because the models presented in stores are quite expensive. However, before starting production, you need to develop a design design, and you should take into account the problems that were described above. This will allow you to get a hanger that will be distinguished by functionality and ease of use. The base of the product will be hollow parallelepipeds, which must be installed on a rotary type base. It has two planes. The rotating mechanism must be located between the supporting bases, which are located below. You can purchase accessories in a specialized store. The mechanism must have bearings that will ensure rotation under a load weighing up to 110 kilograms. The supporting base in the upper plane can be rounded; a jigsaw is used for this.

Preparing parts

If you are making a floor, you will need to initially prepare the parts. The structure is assembled using laminated chipboard, the thickness of the material should be 16 millimeters. The color is selected depending on the features of the interior and other pieces of furniture that are in the hallway. When preparing parts, it is important to maintain right angles, so experts advise ordering the cutting of elements from professionals, but you can do the gluing of the edges yourself.

Edging

Before you make a clothes hanger, you should learn about how edge gluing is done. It has an adhesive base and can be melamine. Its thickness is 0.5 mm or less. The edge is applied to the end of the element, with the adhesive base facing down. Then it is ironed with an iron, which should not be heated. Until the edge has cooled down, it is smoothed using a dry rag. At the next stage, the edges are processed; excess edges will need to be removed using sandpaper and a sharp knife.

Workpiece dimensions

In order to get a clothes hanger on wheels, you will need to prepare a square bottom base with a side of 560 millimeters. The top base should have a side equivalent to 380 millimeters. The side elements of the lower part are made in quantities of 2 pieces, the dimensions of each should be 600x300 millimeters. All other parts are made in the amount of 2 pieces, this applies to the internal side elements that will make up the lower part. The dimensions of each given workpiece must be 600x267 millimeters. The upper and lower parts will have a square shape with a side of 267 mm. Similar parts are made with a square side of 167 millimeters.

The side elements should have dimensions equal to 1200x200 millimeters. The side inner parts of the top have dimensions that are 1200x167 millimeters.

Carrying out the assembly

You can purchase a metal clothes hanger in a store - this is easier to do than making it yourself. But if you decide to make your own floor structure from wood, then for assembly you need to use confirmations with dimensions of 50x70 millimeters. For them, holes located at the ends are pre-prepared. To do this, use a 5 mm drill. The depth of the holes should be 60 millimeters. Holes in the plane must have a depth equivalent to 8 millimeters. They need to be done through and through. There is no need to be afraid that the fastener heads will be visible - later they can be hidden using plugs. You can also make a wall-mounted clothes hanger with your own hands. To do this, you need to prepare a laminated chipboard strip, several hooks and fasteners. All these components are connected to each other, and then the structure is hung on the wall. In the case of a floor structure, everything is different. The hanger will rotate due to the presence rotary mechanism, it is fixed with 4x16 mm screws.

The rotating mechanism has a one-piece design, and it is attached to the base by creating technological holes 10 millimeters deep. Initially, markings have to be made. After the hanger is assembled, the fasteners will be hidden by the top plane. The hanger can be equipped with different hooks. Thus, the top ones may be longer, allowing them to be used for hats. The middle ones are intended for children's clothing, but as for the lower ones, bags can be placed on them. The structure is stable due to the fact that the center of gravity moves closer to the floor surface.

Alternative option

A wall-mounted clothes hanger in the hallway can also be made by you. To do this, you need to prepare a board, timber, and hooks. The board must have the following sections: 25x150, 50x100, and 25x80 millimeters. As for the timber, it must have a square cross-section with a side of 100 millimeters. The base will be a beam, which is marked taking into account the required length and cut off. If the hanger is not wall-mounted, but floor-mounted, then legs should be attached to it. The structure must be processed with sandpaper. If legs are provided, they must have a length of 350 millimeters. The legs on one side are cut at an angle of 45 degrees, which will add aesthetics. There should be supports at their edges that are fixed. These additional blanks are cut from a board whose cross-section is 25x80 millimeters.

The legs can be strengthened with elements 330 millimeters long. These blanks are made from 50x100 mm boards. There should be four of them. When making a wall-mounted clothes hanger for the hallway, top part can be made more elegant by decorating it with decor, which is made from a 5-centimeter board. The lumber is used to cut a square, which is screwed to the top of the base using two screws. The workpiece is strengthened with the help of fittings, however, if you want to make a decorative element yourself, then it should be deprived of fasteners for screwing. In this case, the workpiece is glued using carpentry compound.

Final works

When making clothes hangers for a closet, it is important to ensure high-quality fasteners. Quite often, not only mechanical, but also glue method. In the latter case, both surfaces should be lubricated. After this, the structure is left until the composition has completely dried and only then can it be treated with varnish or stain. The mixture is applied in several layers, between each of which the product should be left until completely dry. Afterwards the surface is treated with sandpaper. Before applying the next layer, the surface must be wiped with a damp cloth. In the process of making clothes hangers for a closet, the above technology can be used. However, no matter what design you choose, if it is based on wood, all corners must be cleaned, and the same applies to the ends of the structure. This can be done between applying layers, then the surface will acquire the effect of antiquity.

In most cases, the tool can be used manually.

These factors are especially felt if a floor hanger fits in the hallway. In addition, it can also serve as a dryer if its design is framed, see below, because On such hangers it is convenient to hang clothes on hangers, and the hanger itself moves away from the wall. If you managed to fence off a dressing room in the house, then a floor hanger best option. The cost of floor hangers is significantly higher than wall hangers, but there is nothing in the design that would prevent you from making a floor hanger yourself.

On the floor or on the wall?

What has been said is already enough to make a choice, as long as there is enough floor space. However, let’s finally look at what makes a floor-type hallway hanger so attractive:

• Clothes hung on hangers dry faster and do not stretch; The collar and lining do not tear.
• On a hanger approx. wide. 1.5 m will fit a seasonal set of clothes for the whole family, which will save on closet space and space for it.
• A shoe rack is naturally attached to the floor hanger, which simplifies the work of equipping the hallway and saves its space.
• With the correct dimensions of the hanger, neither the wall from clothes nor the clothes against the wall are damaged.
• The mobility of the hanger does not interfere with rearranging furniture; After moving the hanger, there is no need to seal the mounting holes in the wall.

However, there are different floor hangers, and not all of them are most suitable for residential premises. For example, for order (from the old Russian “order” - office, office, office) floor lamp hangers, pos. 1-4 in Fig., hanging clothes on hangers is inconvenient. Due to the small support area, they are rolly, especially when loaded with wet winter clothes. To emphasize the functional inferiority of the product, such hangers are called hangers, and they are often sold under this name.

Types of floor hangers

The best option is the same theatrical wardrobe frame hanger, pos. 5. When designed for residential premises, it is supplemented with shelves for hats, shoes and gloves/scarves; possibly with an additional tie rod, pos. 6. Disadvantage – the “legs” of the hanger get tangled under your feet. In an attempt to get rid of it, they came up with hangers - frames on a stand, pos. 7, but generally speaking, they are even more rolls than ordered hangers. Another option is a frame hanger without legs, leaning against the wall; We will remember this one again. There are also folding frame hangers, but they have almost no advantages in everyday life.

If space is generally tight in the hallway, then a wall hanger is still more suitable. Simple wall hanger-sconce, pos. 1 in Fig., is as compact as possible, but no more convenient than an orderly one, except that it won’t fall to one side from the next jacket. Hanger-shelf, pos. 2, will not fall off if attached properly, and hats/caps from it too, but the wall and clothes rub against each other.

Types of wall hangers

Wall hanger-panel, pos. 3, saves the wall, but not clothes. Leather items wear out the most on such hangers. Tanners jokingly advise: how can you tell a sheepskin coat made from full-grain leather from one made from reverse leather? The first one, with everyday use of the panel hanger, loses its appearance in 2 winters, and the second - in half a winter. Considering the cost of genuine leather products, this is no good. Therefore, wall hangers for expensive items often provide soft upholstery, pos. 4. As for wall hangers with openwork panels, pos. 5, then in this case its meaning is only decorative: it does not protect either things or the wall.

Floor hangers with chest and banquette

There are also floor hangers-panels with a stand, for example. in the form of a cabinet, chest or chest, pos. 1 in Fig. on right. This is not the best option: someone will someday put something on the lid, and the clothes being removed from the hanger will knock it onto the floor. Much more practical are floor hangers-panels with a bench, pos. 2. A flower under the seat is a matter of taste for the owners, if only it survives there, but a shoe rack or a chest for accessories for its care is in the drawer of the banquette.

Clothes and keys

Regarding panel hangers, the amateur craftsman has an additional opportunity, namely: to equip such a sidewall on the farthest side front door edge. Perhaps not reaching the bottom, with a bevel or notch. Factory ones don’t do this: the hanger should be designed for clothes to stick out from the side. One sidewall almost does not interfere with this, but it is unknown how the hanger will sit with the buyer, and making right and left hangers is expensive.

What does this add-on provide? A place for a key holder, invisible from the threshold. There, on the side, there may be a dressing table or a cabinet, but the main thing is that the owner’s keys will not catch the eye of a casual visitor, but they are in plain sight, according to criminologists, a serious factor in spontaneous illegal actions, without which, i.e. temptation, a visit from a not entirely trustworthy subject would have turned out well for both the hosts and him. You can, of course, make a luxuriously designed key holder with a secret lock, but this is a lot of work and costs for materials. Otherwise, a simple board with hooks will do. Or just hooks screwed to the side of the outside of the storage section.

We will assume that suitable design has already been selected, and let’s get started on how to make a hanger. Preferably wooden: the material is noble, natural, easy to process. Let's not forget other versions; in some cases more convenient. Let's start with floor hangers as the most functional.

Floor-standing

Those who like to make things from the heart, who have milling tool for wood, they can immediately take up a floor frame hanger with legs. Made from fine-grained wood hardwood(oak, beech, hornbeam, walnut, birch), it looks chic, and in width it will take up only 360 mm of floor space.

A suit hanger works well as a prototype, you just need to make it taller and move the trouser bar up so you can hang hangers on it. Instead of a tie rod and handles, you can install a shelf, and a shoe rack is mounted below. Drawings of such a hanger are shown in Fig.:

Drawings of a wooden floor hanger

With the other dimensions indicated, the structural and overall width (sizes 430 and 460 respectively) without compromising strength and stability can be increased by 1-1.4 m, i.e. the hanger will be narrower than family width up to more than 1.8 m. Self-orienting wheels, if full mobility is needed, can be installed without problems.

About hooks and traps

Bags, umbrellas, scarves are also left on the hanger, and a bachelor’s skirt and lingerie may also be there. Sometimes life is life. It is also more convenient to hang clothes on hooks for a short time. Therefore, in frame hangers, sometimes slider hooks are put on the main rod (formerly the trouser rod in Fig; height 1360). They or the hangers, depending on the need, are moved to the side en masse. But the sliding hooks under the fingers turn out at the most inopportune moment. In a hanger of this design and similar ones, the problem is solved simply: the main rod is for hangers, and the fixed hooks are attached to the top board.

Pipes and profiles

Original hangers are made from round or profile metal or plastic pipes, see fig. However, despite all the design tricks, their organic defects do not disappear. The same ones that hanged the orderly. But it adds high labor intensity: in order to hide the connecting nodes, you have to really strain both your hands and your head.

Pipe hangers

It is better to make a square base for a floor lamp hanger from pipes. With the same floor area removed, the distance between the support points increases by 1.4 times. If you make the base even heavier, a hanger up to 1.7 m high turns into a full-fledged hanger. 60 mm sewer pipes are most suitable.

A short master class in pictures on making the base of a floor hanger from pipes is shown in the following. rice. Pipe sections are 150-300 mm, depending on how much floor can be given to the hanger. In addition to them, you will need 3 straight tees, 4 right angles and 4 plugs. Connections are made using propylene or PVC glue, depending on the pipe material. Weighting - sand or small crushed stone.

Making the base of a hanger from pipes

One of the comments to original design begins with a question something like this: “Why couldn’t you just solder it?” Judging by the fact that later in the same comment the 90° angles are called bends with an obvious claim to professionalism (plumbing bends are oblique tees), 2-3 more and the same number of exclamation marks suggest themselves in addition to the question mark.

Nevertheless, the author of the product, even if she did not know plumbing terminology, solved the problem quite like an engineer. The hanger doesn't need sealed joints, and a tube of glue will cost much less than renting a soldering iron for propylene. Which you also need to learn how to use, spoiling a lot of the material. For greater reliability, you can reinforce the connections with phosphated (black) self-tapping screws: their heads are not visible on black, and the strength of the hanger will not be reduced.

Note: the top in the original design is also made of pipes, but its design, frankly speaking, is not that... It would be better to drill inclined holes in the rack and insert some strong pins into them using the same glue; wooden, metal.

Simple frame

The scheme is simple floor-wall hanger from pipes

A frame hanger made of pipes can be without legs, simply leaning against the wall at an angle. However, its slope must be negative. There should be at least 350 mm between the wall and clothes on hangers. If the tilt of the frame is positive (the upper crossbar is adjacent to the wall), then the lower one will “move away” from the plinth by 500-600 mm. In a small hallway this is a serious inconvenience. In addition, they will either cling to the bottom crossbar with their feet and it will break the floor, or they will have to attach it to the floor, and this is really bad: any violation of the flooring is fraught with difficult and expensive emergency repairs. Have you ever seen furniture on sale that needs to be screwed to the floor? Except that special purpose, eg. rack. And then, they also try to make do with fastenings to the walls and, in extreme cases, the ceiling.

The diagram of a frame hanger with a negative slope made of pipes is shown in Fig. The materials are the same: straight segments sewer pipes 60 mm, 90 angles and straight tees. Seized usable area gender – zero. Below there can be a shoe rack or a banquette. For fastening to the wall, so as not to drill a lot and do without expensive collet anchors, it is better to take a couple more tees: with their help, the holding beams - guy wires - are attached to the wall with a pair of self-tapping screws in dowels each.

Wall mounted

Simple panel hangers do not require any special disassembly. How to make a wooden wall hanger, see e.g. video.

Video: DIY wall hanger made of wood

Here we remember, firstly, about the sconce hanger. Folding, it can be very useful if a large company has gathered or the kids have returned from the yard.

An example of this kind of design is shown on the right in Fig. However, its creators were clearly guided by the principle: “Consumption is the basis of cash circulation.” The outer (folded) side of the flap is inactive and requires a locking mechanism. And a separate hanger for every day.

Compact folding wall hanger

Meanwhile, folding wall hangers have been known since Ancient Egypt. In the climate there, outerwear was worn occasionally, in bad weather, but after wearing it it was necessary to dry it. There was no point in keeping a separate hanger for this in areas where it rains and is cold not once a year, so they came up with one like the one on the right in Fig.

When folded, the compact Egyptian wall hanger was secured with a cypress stick. Now, of course, you can install a ball retainer or just a hook. The main thing is that the hook hooks should be 3/4 of a circle, then nothing will fall off them even with the bar folded back. And without need, the whole hanger looks like just a stick on the wall; You can hang bags, umbrellas, and keys on the hooks.

More about hooks

An original wooden hanger can be made without any metal at all, not counting the fasteners. Do not rush to throw away the New Year's pine or Christmas tree (only the blanks will need to be turned upside down):

Video: original DIY wooden hanger

Such a hanger will look best in a country house, in a timber or frame house. Depending on the interior design – even in a city apartment. It will go well in the bathhouse: touching steamed skin to metal is both unpleasant and, to some extent, even dangerous.

Hangers for the nursery

Probably all children throw away their clothes. There is no need to particularly scold them for this: without experiencing chaos within reasonable limits, you will not get accustomed to order. Who is against it - answer Friday’s question to Robinson Crusoe: “Why doesn’t the devil kill God?”

However, it is necessary to teach children to handle things properly. Only a children's hanger, so as not to cause obvious psychological rejection, should look somewhat disordered. It is also highly desirable that the child associate it with his favorite game or hobby. Examples of “game/hobby” type wall hangers for children’s rooms are given in pos. 1 and 2 fig.

Children's hangers

A universal method of this kind is a tree hanger, pos. 3. In the contour of a tree, as in any fractal structure, order and chaos interact and complement each other, giving rise to a harmonious whole. Just don’t forget to make the wood stronger, e.g. from plywood from 12 mm, and properly, in increments of no more than 250-300 mm, attach to the wall with self-tapping screws from 6 mm in propylene dowels. A tree is meant for climbing.

Floor hangers in a nursery are undesirable for the same reason: well, they will climb anyway and crash. Therefore, if you want a floor hanger for the nursery, you need to make one that you can’t fit on, as can be seen in pos. 4 and 5.

About cutting plywood

In any case, parents are faced with problems that little ones don’t care about yet: material consumption and labor intensity. Drawing a complex contour along a grid on a single sheet of plywood is no longer easy; then you need to cut it out precisely, which is even more difficult. And in the end it turns out that 60% or 80% of the material went to waste, no longer suitable for anything. On the contrary, you need to make a children's tree hanger from waste. Or cut a whole sheet more tightly.

Assembling parts of a wooden hanger from plywood

The method for this has long been known: element-by-element cutting and assembly. If the tree is plywood, for full strength finished product each part is assembled from 2 layers, leaving the corresponding folds and grooves, see fig. Fragments of blanks are assembled using PVA glue, wood glue or “Express” (liquid nails). If the assembly is made of PVA, the fragments must be additionally fastened with small snake nails in increments of 100-150 mm with a distance of 30-40 mm from the edges.

The wooden hanger is assembled using the same adhesives, but now each connection must be secured with wood screws and an envelope. Then the gaps and fastener heads (they need to be recessed during assembly) are rubbed with putty made from sawdust of the same plywood on PVA. Such wood will look solid even without painting, only under varnish.

Note: Just in case, let us remind you that before assembly, all wooden parts of any wooden hanger must be sanded with fine sandpaper and treated with a water-polymer emulsion or PVA diluted three to five times with water. After impregnation, before further work, a technological break is taken until the part is completely dry (1-3 days, depending on its size).

And one last thing about hooks

In the illustrations above, you most likely noticed the curved wooden hooks and other details of the hangers. It is quite possible to make them at home. In production, dense, fine-grained, defect-free wood or water-resistant birch plywood(BS varieties) are bent by heating with steaming or dry, but these methods are too complicated for homework. Only bamboo is steamed more or less simply: the workpiece is boiled for half an hour or an hour in rapidly boiling water, after which it is bent by hand. In the case of bending according to a template, the workpiece must be quickly tied to it, before it has cooled down, with a wide cotton braid or a strip of natural tarpaulin.

Wood rasp

At home, it is easier to cut blanks of the required configuration from a sheet of plywood (any) or MDF required thickness or, twice or four times as much in quantity, from thin sheet material to then gain as much thickness as required. Cut with a finishing allowance of approx. 1 mm. The cut blanks are tightly pulled together in a package in a carpenter's vice or in a mechanic's vice through spacers made of thick plywood and processed with a wood rasp to size, and then sanded clean. One rasp is enough, with flat and semicircular working surfaces, see fig.

The blanks are assembled into parts using the method described above. The end surfaces, if it is necessary to hide the layered structure of the plywood, are sealed with strips of self-adhesive wood-like film. After this, the part is varnished two or three times with water-based acrylic varnish; nitro varnish can damage the self-adhesive. It is not worth edging (edging) with a plastic furniture edge: you need to accurately select the groove for the edge anchor, which requires milling machine, but on curved surfaces of great curvature and short length, the edge still holds poorly. And parts covered with self-adhesive tape, varnished, and solid wood cannot be immediately distinguished even by a master cabinetmaker.
