    Default Needed - Plans for temp clothes rack

    Hi all,
    We're renovating the front 4 rooms of our home.
    Two have huge closets.

    I need plans to build temporary clothes racks.
    Hopefully simple and very temporary - anywhere from 2 week to 8 weeks.


    Although NOT wood, this one looks very simple.
    Anyone know where I should start to find this material?

    If it is only temporary/short term, I think you'd buy one cheaper than you'd make it.

    Target used to have cheap, height adjustable clothes racks for around $20 each. I'm sure other stores have them as well.

    I appreciate your desire to construct the hangers but believe the cost too high. I'd be inclined to visit auction houses, and second-hand stores to pick up these short term needed items.

    Yeah I've had a look. And they are all pretty cheap.

    I've read a couple of reviews as well.
    The joints are plastic and easily break.


    I'd rather spend the money on 4x2s and just screw together solidly and be able to recover the wood for a project later.

    As I need these for every day use and not just as storage.

    At the moment I'm thinking af a 6ft high by 6 to 12 foot wide by 3 foot deep box/rectangle frame.
    With supporting 2x4s half way except for one wide side.
    Thanks,
