Popular Post Katjo Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 I asked my husband to build me some closet shelves after seeing posted photos of others who have added shelves, and here they are! I love it! So much more space and so much more organized! We opted to not wrap the shelf around the right side because I hang a shoe rack and I didn’t want to lose hanging space. He did add a small shelf on the opposite side. We ordered the black rubber shelf lining from Oliver which will be here soon. I also added command hooks to hang hats. I love that the wasted space behind the clothes rod is now useable and valuable space. ❤️ IMG_7332.mov 1 13 4 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 2021 Oliver Elite ll Hull #732 Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

routlaw Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Nice work! This begs the question, where and how do you folks store you dirty clothes for laundry. We have used the a large net basket affair stored on the floor, however like many I've never been completely satisfied with the storage shelfs and situation as they are but also don't want to give up that space for the laundry. 1 Legacy Elite II #70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day or two, it gets emptied into two Ikea blue bags in the back of the truck. One bag is for jeans and heavy cotton stuff, one bag is for synthetic/ microfiber stuff. It's all sorted ahead of time for the laundromat. 6 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

GraniteStaters Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I can see how the shelves are held up in place with supporting boards. Is there anything preventing them from sliding forward if you have to brake hard?

Thanks, Paula It has angle iron underneath that’s attached to side boards the long shelf to the left acts as a wedge to the front closet wall so it’s not possible for it to move forward, all edges have foam stripping to snug the fit and protect fiberglass, once the unit is placed inside it’s wedged in very tightly. 1 2 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 2021 Oliver Elite ll Hull #732 Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SeaDawg Posted August 20 Moderators Share Posted August 20 I really like the design you and your husband created. Since the hanging shoe bag fits, you should still be able to hang clothes decently. I'm guessing you "stepped back" the lower shelves? As always, well thought out, and executed.

Katjo Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 @SeaDawg Thank you so much! I really did not want to lose hanging space, so this design works best for us. We did step back the lower shelves so not to interfere with the hanging clothes. It’s amazing how much useable space we gained just by adding those shelves. I’m so happy with it.😍 1 1 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 2021 Oliver Elite ll Hull #732 Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
