If you have storage issues putting in a closet is a good method of fixing this issue. In many instances you can make a current closet more useful by adding additional shelves and rods. However, even in a place that had no closet before, installing a closet is fairly easy so if you choose to build a closet, here is a simple outline for helping you with it. We’ll suppose that you already have walls for your closet and the closet itself is all you need to install. Here is what you will need:
Required Tools
Nail gun
Air compressor
Drill
Stud finder
Tape measure
Chalk/pencil
Chop saw
Required Materials
Closet Materials
1½-2 inch brad nails
1×4 boards
1¼ inch brad nails
Rod holders
Screws
Closet rod
Rod support brackets
Instructions
Initially use the tape measure to determine how much room you have for your closet. Conclude on how many shelves you will need, how much rods for clothes, how much door will be necessary, the movement of the door, and how much and what kind of material you will need to build the closet.
Use the chalk or pencil to sketch the design of the closet on the wall where the closet will be so that you have a rough idea of how each piece will be laid out and fit together. Use the stud finder to see where the studs are in the wall and mark them with the chalk so you can quickly find them later on.
With the chop saw, cut your closet materials to the needed length and then continue to insert the compressor and nail gun. Load the nail gun using the brad nails and you are set to go. Start by placing up the 1×4 boards and nailing them into the studs which were previously marked. Cut the shelving material you purchased for the closet to fit the design you want and use the 1¼ inch nails to attach them to the 1×4 stringers you joined to the walls.
Next utilize the drill to insert the rod holders into the 1×4 side stringers and then sever the closet rod if needed to get it to hold and insert it into the rod holders. It will work as a support for the closet shelves and rods. Then employ the drill and 1½ inch screws to mount the rod support brackets no more than 3 feet apart; all that is left now is to put in the different shelves and your new closet is ready for use.
As far as the door is concerned, use drywall to cover the space over where the door will be and then attach whichever door you select.
Tips
Sliding doors or external swinging doors are advised as internal inward swinging doors. Since it can be hard to open when all the shelves and your clothes are in place.
Apply putty to fill out any uneven places when you are finished.
