Who has done this mod?

I remember seeing this Mod in the sticky thread, but I'll be darned if I can find it again. (Saved this picture from when I saw it the first time.)

Have you ever done this Mod? If so, I would like ALL your info.
Where did you get materials?
Did you cut them to fit?
Any special tools required?
etc...

And thanks!!

  • I was going to do something like this, but at wal mart I saw this heavy duty adjustable rack for $20, it's awesome. Still room to hang 6-8 shirts without smashing them, and tons of space for clothes on the rack. There was even some room left at the bottom for shoes. Couldn't be easier or more efficient.
  • I did ours like the picture. I used shelving from lowes that I cut to fit (bought 1 long piece to make 3 shelves) I used the 3m command hooks to hang them so I didn't have to worry about comming through the wall with a screw. The have been loadded heavily with clothes for 6 months and work great!
  • I used a hanging closet organizer from bed bath beyond that does a similar concept. Works well, as I don't care about having anything "hanging" of a hanger in the camper. I'd rather fold it.
  • I started down that route, but ended up using laminate flooring.
  • I have installed that shelving in a few closets in my house. Most of the shelving at HD and Lowes is made by ClosetMaid. You can save some money by buying a longer section of shelf and either cutting it youself or have the store cut it (check and recheck their measurements). You may also need to notch the shelving if there are 2x supports in the corners of the cabinets. ClosetMaid used to sell a u-shaped bracket for the rear hangers that allowed you to easily remove the shelf if needed...not sure if they still sell those now.
  • I did this to my trailer clothes closets and love it.
    Went from barely having enough room for our clothes to having more than needed. Easier to find stuff too. Of course, no hanging space in those closets, but we have another closet near entry way for jackets, etc. so no big deal.
    Used wire shelving from Home Depot supported with small wood ledgers that I screwed to the cabinet sides.
    I used a sawzall to cut the wire, but you could easily do it with a hacksaw.

  • That looks like cut-to-fit shelving you can buy at Lowes/Home Depot.

    They'll cut it for you or you do it yourself. I put some in my den for electronics.
