Materials

To build a wall-mounted pipe clothes hanger, you will need:

  • Wall-mounted clothing rack kit (all of our kits include hardware)
  • If not using a kit: loose pipes, fittings, and hardware
  • Drill
  • Pencil
  • Stud finder (optional)
  • Level

Instructions

  1. Start by cleaning and sealing the pipes and fittings included in your kit. Detailed instructions are in the box, but hereā€™s a quick rundown: use a non-abrasive dish soap like Dawn to wipe down all of your pipes and fittings and remove the protective oil that keeps them rust-free during transit. Let them dry completely, then seal them with a clear polyurethane spray. You can also paint them for a pop of color!

  2. Assemble the rack as shown in the diagram above. Tighten the flanges and pipes into the elbows as much as you can by hand, but keep the left flange slightly loose for steps 5-6. Itā€™s important to assemble the rack before drilling the flanges so youā€™ll know what the final position of the flange holes will be once the pieces are screwed together.

  3. Hold the rack up to the wall in your desired position. Mark the holes of the left flange on the wall with the pencil so youā€™ll know where to drill. If you would prefer to drill into a wall stud, use your stud finder before marking the wall.

  4. If you are using anchors, pre-drill 3/16ā€ holes at each mark you made on the wall. Do not pre-drill if you are screwing into a stud.

  5. Screw anchors into the pre-drilled holes. Do not over-tighten.

  6. Attach the left flange to the wall using the drill. It should be loose enough for you to move the right flange into position after the left flange has been screwed into the wall.

  7. With the left flange installed, use a level to determine a position for the right flange by rotating the rack and holding it in place. Mark the flange holes on the wall.

  8. Repeat steps 3ā€“5 to install the right side.Ā 

And thatā€™s it! Now you have your very own pipe clothes hanger to help you display your clothes in style.Ā
