Closet clothes rail for a bedroom that has run out of built-in hanging space. The hanging area stands 160cm high, which is enough for full-length coats and dresses to hang clear of the floor rather than folding at the hem. It suits an older house with a single shallow wardrobe, a spare room being used as a dressing room, or a rental where fitted storage is not an option.
The rail is built from 19mm high quality steel pipe, a gauge heavy enough to carry a loaded rail of winter coats without bowing across the span. Steel pipe and non-woven fabric make up the structure, with the tubes slotting together and the shelving providing lateral stiffness. Because it is a bolt-together frame rather than a welded one, it can be taken down and moved between rooms or homes without losing rigidity.
Use it along a bedroom wall as open wardrobe storage, inside a walk-in closet to add a second hanging level, or in a utility area as a drying and sorting rail. It also solves the laundry bottleneck in a shared house, giving ironed shirts somewhere to hang instead of returning to a pile. Shelves above and below take folded knitwear, shoes and storage boxes.
