Copper tube floor hanger
So, to make a floor hanger, you will need to go to a plumbing store and buy 2 three-meter pipes.
Thickness – 2 centimeters. They need to be cut into the following segments:
- 2 tubes 1.5 meters each;
- 2 x 1 meter;
- 4 x 25 centimeters.
If you don’t have a grinder or a hacksaw, you can order trimming directly from the store. Usually this is done for free.
You will also need:
- Copper elbows of the same diameter - 4 pieces.
- 2 T-rounds.
- 2 caps.
- Epoxy glue or cold welding for gluing. In principle, you can cook them and it will be more correct, but then you will need a gas burner.
- Rubber pads for feet.
When everything is ready, you can start assembling:
- First, measure the area where the clothes hanger will be placed.
- Then connect the small tubes (these will be the legs) and connect them to the squeegee.
- You need to put 2 elbows on the tubes and connect them together with a meter-long tube.
- One and a half meter pipes are inserted into the T-grip. From above they need to be connected with another meter-long tube through the elbow.
Ready! In just a couple of hours, you can assemble an excellent hanger for your hallway with your own hands. Please note that epoxy or cold welding does not “take” right away. She needs at least an hour to harden.
Types of clothes hangers made of polypropylene pipes
From pieces of PVC pipe purchased or left over after repair, you can make either a regular version of a clothes rack or a more complex one:
- A product that rests on “legs” with hooks, partitions, their number is selected as needed. In this design, the hanger can be installed in a residential area.
- Mobile cabinet. PVC pipes are used to make the frame, and metal pipes are used for the base. For ease of use, wheels are installed. The upper partition is used as a crossbar for placing clothes on hangers.
- Vertical hanger. A structure made of PVC material is often installed in the hallway, where it is used for storing outerwear and hats.
- Hanger-drying rack. Such a homemade invention will be very suitable for drying clothes and towels.
Portable hanger made of plastic pipes
Copper is expensive, but plastic, not so much. A hanger made from polypropylene or PVC pipes will cost less and are also easier to work with.
For the hanger you will need:
- The tube is 2 meters long with a diameter of 2.5 centimeters. They will need to be divided into segments: 6 x 12 centimeters, 1 – 80, 2 – 20, 1 – 10.
- 45 centimeter tube with a thickness of 2 cm. You will need three 15 centimeter sections.
- 4 elbows with a diameter of 2.5 cm.
- 3 elbows with a diameter of 2 cm.
- 6 T-rounds.
- Glue for plastic.
- 4 adapters from 2.5 to 1.25 cm.
- 3 adapters for 2 cm.
- Spray paint.
The hanger is assembled with your own hands like this:
1. So, first you need to cut the pipes into the necessary pieces. This can be done right in the store.
2. Now you need to assemble the legs. They are assembled from short tubes through bends.
3. Now the “hand” is assembled.
4. An 80 cm piece is inserted into the center of the legs. You can put “hands” on it.
All connections must be secured with glue so that they do not move. When it dries, you can paint the hanger. Any spray paint will do. It's better to use good enamel. It will create a thick protective layer that will not wear off. In addition, it can be applied in 1 layer.

- Pencil.
- Roulette or ruler.
- Drill and drill bits.

Step-by-step instruction
Let's start making a wall hanger for the hallway with our own hands:
- We make markings using a pencil and a ruler, and cut the board. You should get 4 segments: two 70 cm and two 40 cm.
- We assemble the frame and make holes in the boards with a drill. We connect the elements with glue.
- We fix the parts with screws.
- We lay out the branches and determine their size using the finished frame.
- We secure the branches and cut them to the required length.
- Carefully make a hole in the frame and branch. We fix them with a screw. We repeat the steps for other branches.
- We apply putty to eliminate defects and get rid of indentations on the frame.
- Let the putty dry. We process the wooden surface with medium and fine-grain sandpaper.
- We paint the frame and branches in the same tone.
- We fix the fastenings using a drill to the back side of the structure. A hanger made from scrap materials is ready.
Mobile hanger on wheels
To make the floor clothes hanger more mobile, you can screw legs to it. You can glue them using the same glue that the stand was assembled from.
The wheels must be metal. Plastic adheres worse and can withstand less load from clothing.
Wooden floor hanger
A wooden floor hanger is a cool idea for a hallway. She looks stylish, unusual and easy to put together.
It will require 4 straight sticks. You can take cuttings from a shovel or hoe. You will also need paint and masking tape to bring them into their “divine” form.
They are very easy to make and will take no more than 10 minutes:
- First, the cuttings need to be painted in the main color.
- Then make a ring out of masking tape and cover it with another layer of spray paint.
Now you can start forming the hanger. The sticks need to be tied tightly with a decorative cord like this.
- Then you need to lift it and straighten the legs.
The hanger looks cool. You can always fold it and put it in the closet. The downside is that you can't hang a lot of clothes on it.
General characteristics of hanger designs
The traditional and almost the only option forty years ago for a hanger in the corridor was a wooden board with screwed aluminum hooks. In those days, the industry was solving problems with fulfilling production volume plans; minimal attention was paid to design and quality.
Over time, the designs became more complex, with separate sections for different types of clothing, shelves for hats and shoes. There were options with small cabinets and bedside tables, wall-mounted and built-in, free-standing and combined, portable and stationary. Currently, the range of hangers has expanded to several hundred models; most large and small manufacturing companies produce their own original products.
Modern hangers are very diverse
Craftsmen make even more options on their own. Moreover, now various hand-held and stationary woodworking tools and equipment are available to them, and restrictions on the complexity of the technology for manufacturing hanger structures have been completely removed. From a technical point of view, the capabilities of individual craftsmen are almost no different from industrial companies, the only difference is in productivity.
Floor hangers
A separate category of special furniture for hallways has special hooks for storing not only clothes, but also hats, umbrellas, handbags and other personal items. Such hangers can be made of wood or metal; there are no restrictions on the shape. Floor models are made in styles from retro to high-tech, designed for several guests or a large company.
This hanger can hold a lot of things.
The advantages of floor hangers for the hallway include the following qualities.
- Mobility. It can be moved to another place at any time, and not only in the hallway. There are types of interiors in which simple floor hangers are used instead of conventional cabinets. They store both outerwear and for constant wear.
- Most modern models have adjustable parameters. The height and width of the racks can be changed at will, making it possible to store items of different lengths.
- Wide selection of design solutions. Each owner selects furniture for himself, taking into account the existing situation in the living rooms.
Example of a designer floor hanger
The cost of products varies widely; such hangers are found both in prestigious buildings and in half-empty apartments of young people just starting their adult life. Unfortunately, for self-production you need to choose only the simplest models, since many hangers have rather complex engineering solutions. Only experienced professionals can perform them at home.
Wall hangers
Wall-mounted models are the most popular and are even more diverse than floor-mounted designs.
A stylish wall hanger will decorate the hallway
They are most often made of wood and metal; there are many combined models; factory-made hangers can also be made of plastic (the most budget option). Wall hangers take up less space, which is very important for small spaces; they are much easier to make with your own hands.

The simplest versions of hangers also have their connoisseurs and are quite often found in hallways. |
Solid wood | The structure is entirely wooden, even the hooks are cut from boards. Surfaces can be scorched with a blowtorch to age and highlight the beauty of the texture. If you don’t have a blowtorch, soak it in stain; if you have time and money, buy and work with several types of special paints. Such hangers have many design solutions, from the simplest to the very complex. |
OSB, fiberboard, boards | Such designs provide the opportunity to show maximum imagination. Various plants and figures are cut out of the sheet, and clothes hooks are attached to them. The hanger is quite simple to make and at the same time looks very prestigious. |

Children's hangers should be beautiful and cheerful, reminiscent of fairy tale or cartoon characters, and attract attention with bright multi-colored colors. They are usually small in size and are attached at a child-friendly distance from the floor. |
It is impossible to list all the models, because each craftsman may have his own version of the hanger.

It can already be used, but it is advisable to modify it:
- Surface grinding. It is better to remove all irregularities with a plane to level the surface. If it is already smooth, you can start sanding it with sandpaper. First coarse (120 R), then 320, 600, 800 and so on with a minimum step of up to 1500.
- Varnishing. When the surface is prepared, it needs to be covered with a generous layer of varnish. It is better not to use oil - it may not dry completely and ruin the clothes. First, the board must be moistened with a cloth and waited 15-20 minutes until it dries. The water will slightly raise the fibers, which will need to be sanded with 1500-grit sandpaper. After this, you need to coat the board with varnish in 2-3 layers.
That's it, the great hanger is ready. Takes up little space and can be hidden behind a closet if necessary.
