Budget-friendly Closet Makeover with Closet Evolution
Рет қаралды 53,526
3 жыл бұрынThis video shows a budget-friendly closet makeover where I transform a small walk-in closet from wire shelving to Closet Evolution organizers from Home Depot. The total cost of this project was a little over $1,000 (with a Home Depot coupon), which is a huge savings over a professional closet installer.

I have used those zip ties wall anchors before, depending which ones you get they can hold a lot of weight. I used them to hang a 50” tv , very quick and easy to use. Found them by just coincidence looking for drywall anchors with higher weight rating.

Thank you for posting this as there’s nothing about the installation video on Closet Evolution system selling by Home Depot. On shortening the hanging rod and the board to fit in a space where it’s less than 25” on width, can you tell us how did you cut the laminated board although you did show us cutting the rod?

Thanks for the video. How is that second rail installed below the shelf? It appeared that you attached to the wall after the tower was hung on the rail. Could not figure out how that adds support. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

It’s just a support under the fixed shelf that is screwed into studs. It shares the load off the top rail.

The big units have fixed shelves at the top, bottom and middle. You should check out their website for drawer options because there are different sizes. Obviously you can’t have as many of you only do deep drawers.

Hello, we are doing our install now so I’m studying your video pretty much frame by frame 😁. I have one question- on your wife’s side is the wide unit with the drawers in the middle. Where did you put the support cleat for that one? Is it behind the drawers or underneath the whole thing? Hope that makes sense. Thanks again, this is a super helpful video.

The directions say not to hang a panel over a screw. Did you find that it made any difference when you were hanging your panels, especially when it was against the wall?

The screw head sticks out slightly so I guess that’s why you shouldn’t put a panel on a screw. I avoided that.
