Closet systems, shelves and built-ins. Ask with your Sheet attached: homeowners who’ve done it and verified pros answer, and anyone can read it.

Walls · 01Before you ask

Before you ask

The closet’s width and depth, what you’ll store, and the wall type.

  • Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
  • Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
  • Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in general contracting or carpentry, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

Closet shelving

6′ reach-in closet: 6 ft of shelf (1 run, 12″ deep), 6 ft of rod and 10 supports, on studs where they fall.

What people get wrong:

  • Plastic anchors for loaded shelves. Expansion anchors in drywall pull out under clothes and boxes.
  • Braces too far apart. Wire shelves sag and pull out of the clips.
  • Forgetting the corner overlap. In a walk-in, the side shelves are shorter by the back shelf’s depth; cut them full length and they won’t fit.
