How to Make a Vertical Hanging Clothes Rack

To expand clothing storage space in or outside the closet, a vertical hanging rack, similar to a garment rack, is an excellent option. Vertical hanging racks can be made to fit any space, out of materials found at a local hardware store.

2 - 36-inch-long, 1/2-inch-size galvanized steel plumber's pipes
2 - 90-degree plumber's pipe elbow fittings
2 - 48-inch-long, 1/2-inch-size galvanized steel plumber's pipes
2 - 4-way pipe fittings
4 - 12-inch-long, 1/2-inch-size galvanized steel plumber's pipes

Instructions

- 1
  Screw the two elbow fittings into the ends of one of the 36-inch pipes. Aim the open ends down. This is the top of your garment rack.
- 2
  Screw the two 48-inch pipes into the open ends of the elbow fittings.
- 3
  Screw the four-way fittings into the bottoms of the two 48-inch pipes.
- 4
  Attach the other 36-inch pipe to the inward-facing threads of the four-way fitting, creating a cross bar to support your vertical hanging rack.
- 5
  Attach the 12-inch pipes to the four remaining ends of the four-way fittings, so they stick out perpendicular to the long standing legs of the vertical garment rack.
- 6
  Stand the entire vertical garment rack up so it's resting on the 12-inch pipes (the "feet").
