Directions
-
Step 2
Attach shelves to 2" x 2" legs with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. Start the first shelf 2" from the bottom and space every 15".
The 16" side of the shelf boards should be flush with the 2" x 2" boards.
-
Step 3
Attach the 12" 2" x 2" boards to the 15" side of the shelves with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. There are 10 total. Use one of the boards drilled for the dowel rod on the top right side of the shelf tower.
-
Step 4
Attach the 15" x 36" bottom shelf board to the shelf tower. The plywood will attach to the 2" x 2" with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
-
Step 1
Using a 1" spade bit, drill a hole in the center of two of the 12" 2"x 2" boards.
-
Step 5
Assemble the closet rod support by joining 2 - 65 3/4" 2" x 2" boards together with 2 - 12" 2" x 2" boards. The bottom board will be 2 3/4" from the end. The top board will be the remaining board drilled with the 1 "spade bit.
-
Step 6
Attach the closet rod support to the bottom shelf of the closet system using 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
-
Step 7
Using wood glue, attach the dowel rod into the 2" x 2" boards previously drilled with the spade bit. You may need to use a hammer to get the end flush.
-
Step 8
Finish your project by sanding and staining the color of your choice. You could paint the shelves, but I would recommend only stain on the closet rod. The hangers sliding would cause the paint to chip away.
