Just My Size Closet

Step 1

NOTE: Before you begin, decide how you are going to work around your baseboard trim in closet. We just installed the closet in front and there is no issues, but you may wish to do something different. Start by making the center divider part. I used 3/4" PHs and 1 1/4" PH screws, but you could also use 2" screws and glue. I don't recommend nails because there's no back or face frame on this piece.

Step 2

Now add the sides... TIP: If you are using shelf pins, would be easier to drill the shelf pins first, but no biggie if you do it afterwards.

Step 3

Add the top.

Step 4

And then the footer.

Step 5

Step 6

Install closet in your closet. For rods, use 1x4 cleats screwed to studs in your wall on the wall side, and attach the rod pocket holder to these 1x4s and the side of the closet system. You can add more shelves or not above the rods.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
