A DIY clothes hanger is a fruitful idea. Theater begins with a hanger; house too. In the sense of spirit, atmosphere, “energy”. The reason is simple: the first thing a guest looks for is where to hang his outerwear. And if the hanger is clearly homemade, but comfortable, stable and durable, the owner is guaranteed a positive reputation.
The second argument for making a hanger with your own hands is prosaic: the prices of purchased ones are clearly disproportionate to production costs. A homemade clothes hanger will allow you to save an amount that is quite visible in your budget. It’s not difficult to make, you only need a little material, and waste from repairs will also be used. 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 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.
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.
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.
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 additional opportunity, namely: to provide such a sidewall on the farthest from 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, and they are in plain sight, as criminologists say, 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, have it luxuriously decorated and 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.
Let's assume that a suitable design has already been chosen, and let's move on to 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
Those who love to craft from the heart and have a wood milling tool at their disposal can immediately take up a floor-mounted frame hanger with legs. Made from fine-grained hardwood (oak, beech, hornbeam, walnut, birch), it looks luxurious and takes 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.:
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 for a bachelor, a skirt with lingerie. 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.
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.
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
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 fasten it to the floor, and this is really bad: any violation of the flooring is fraught with complex 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.
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.
A universal method of this kind is a tree hanger, pos. 3. In the outline 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.
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's remind you - that's it wooden parts Before assembly, 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 waterproof birch plywood (BS grade) is bent by heating with steaming or dry, but for home work these methods are too complicated. 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.
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 twice or thrice with acrylic varnish on water based; nitro varnish can damage the self-adhesive. Edge (edge) plastic furniture edge not worth it: 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.
A huge number of offers of floor clothes hangers makes you think: what if you do it yourself? At home, a hanger for a suit, hangers for outerwear and children's clothing, which are covered with a dust cover, are relevant and practical furniture. Such furniture fits perfectly into the interior; it can be easily moved around the room and apartment.
Clothes on such a hanger wrinkle less than in a closet. It is sometimes called a dressing room, because it allows you to partially unload the furniture closet, and suits will be in sight. It is also convenient to place children's things on this design. A cover for the hanger is necessary as protection from dust.
The main difficulty in making it yourself is processing surfaces and maintaining dimensions. Part matings should be maximum, which is not always possible to achieve manually. Therefore, when making a floor clothes hanger, you should use a combined method: some of the parts and operations will have to be ordered from professionals.
Model selection
Most convenient model According to surveys and the number of sales, the floor hanger for a suit with a cover is a hanger of the following design:
The dimensions can be changed at your discretion. It is advisable to attach a hook for children's hangers on the upper radius board on the back side. This will expand the range of possibilities for using the hanger. The thickness should not be greatly reduced, since parts may bend under load. Increasing the size within reasonable limits will make the hanger more stable.
You can choose any material: beech, ash, cedar, birch or pine. The latter is the most accessible. It is easier to process and finish. When choosing a material, the moisture content in it is especially important, since when drying, raw wood parts change their geometric shape. Simply put, the part may become bent or curled up like a propeller. Once the model has been selected, you should begin preparing materials.
Material selection and preparation
For making at home, it is best to choose pine blanks. They are the most commercially available and easy to process. Suitable for children's and wardrobe hangers. They are not electrified when covered with a synthetic cover. Their advantages in comparison with other types of wood:
Manufacturing of parts
This is the main operation on which the quality of the finished product depends. As can be seen from the drawing, you should prepare or buy wooden blocks and pine boards. They should not have knots larger than 5 mm. The wood must be dry. Curvature of bars and boards is not allowed. When purchasing, be sure to take into account those changes that were made taking into account the specifics and location. Some tips:
- The bars should have a small margin for processing. When purchasing, it is better to take two blanks for one part, taking into account possible defects during work;
- Correct geometric shape. This is checked visually. The curves of the product are immediately visible;
- The length is taken with a margin of at least 3 cm. It will not be possible to carefully saw off 5 mm at home with a jigsaw;
- You will have to look for round crossbars with a diameter of 18 mm. If this size is not available, then these parts will have to be ordered;
- It is advisable to treat finished parts with antiseptic agents before varnishing;
- the cover can be made of fabric or other material.
Required for production minimum set hand and power tools:
Required materials for making a dressing room or children's clothing rack:
- high-quality pine beams;
- self-tapping screws for wood;
- wood drills;
- pine wood varnish and stain;
- hand carpentry tools;
- case.
Modern power tools are equipped with pipes for sucking sawdust and dust from the work area using a vacuum cleaner. At home, this option is very useful.
A set of blanks is now available. Prepare them in accordance with the dimensions according to the drawing. Compare symmetrical parts. They should be the same. Saw to size, sand flat surfaces with a grinder. Curvilinear process sandpaper. This is the most labor-intensive part of making a costume floor hanger. When sawing, you may find that the wood in the thickness of the solid is damp. In this case, it will be difficult to sand the surfaces. Such parts must be dried at room temperature before finishing. Depending on the level of humidity, the drying process may take several days.
Assembling a wardrobe floor suit hanger
This is the final stage of the process of making a floor hanger for clothes. All parts are made according to the drawing and the compliance of dimensions is checked, since they are all already marked on the manufactured parts. You should pay attention to the quality of the fasteners. That is, a choice of screws and self-tapping screws. General recommendations by choice of screws:
- The length should not exceed two thicknesses of the parts being fastened. Otherwise, the screw will pierce the surface of the second part and everything will be ruined. On pine pieces, there is no need to drill a hole in the second piece being fastened;
- Select the color of the screws in accordance with the color of the material coating;
- Self-tapping screws must have a purpose for woodworking. The use of metal screws will significantly reduce the strength of the connection.
An important procedure is marking for drilling holes for fasteners. It is absolutely necessary to use the hole location markings. You need to mark the drilling location in such a way that the drill does not go awry. In this case, the strength of the connection between the parts will be insufficient.
The diameter of the hole that needs to be drilled for the mounting screws should be half the diameter of the screws themselves. The absence of holes can lead to splitting of the wood during the process of tightening the screw and the work will be ruined.
Tips for tightening screws with a screwdriver:
- Do not screw the screw in completely. A screwdriver has a high torque and can turn a self-tapping screw in a material.
- The final tightening of the fasteners should be done manually with a screwdriver so as not to turn the screw in the hole, since in this case the connection will lose strength.
