A floor hanger is a mandatory attribute of any hallway room, whether it is an apartment or a country house. Its price depends on the originality of the execution and the quality of the materials. The easiest option is to purchase such a design at the nearest furniture store. But there is another way out of this situation, so as not to overpay - to make a floor clothes hanger with your own hands.
A little theory from the course of physics
To achieve this goal, you will need a little knowledge of physics, as well as improvised materials and tools. Let's start with the first one. The main requirements for a floor hanger are stability and the absence of sharp elements so as not to damage the floor, wall or clothes.
Sustainability is achieved in several ways. If the floor hanger rests on one base, usually in the form of a cross or a circle, then it is necessary to make sure that the center of gravity is as low as possible. This can be done using heavier materials - massive wooden blocks or metal.
If the space of the hallway of the room allows, then it is advisable to install the hanger on two, and even better - on three points of support. In the first case, you need wide bases so that your attribute does not fall on its side, since it is problematic to evenly place clothes. Therefore, if possible, you need to choose a support on three points.
To prevent the base of the floor hanger from scratching the floor, you will need to use materials as a “sole” that will be softer than the floor covering.
Tools and materials
Required Tools
So, here is a list of tools that you will need to make a floor hanger:
- cross (curly) screwdriver;
- self-tapping screws of different lengths and thicknesses;
- sandpaper;
- drill;
- drills (set);
- hacksaw;
- axe.
Set of self-tapping screws
You will also need to stock up on the following materials:
- dried tree (cherry, sea buckthorn, etc.) or several of these, if the hanger is planned with several support points. You can buy ready-made processed blanks;
- bars (more massive, at least 60 cm long, the optimal cut is 7x7 cm);
- metal wire (for hooks) or ready-made decorative hooks;
- wood glue;
- a piece of rubber (or silicone) no more than 3 mm thick.
Wooden blocks for work
Instructions for making a floor hanger with a cross and hooks
First you need to free the trunk of the tree from the bark, as well as coarse knots. Of course, it may seem that with the bark the hanger will look much more natural, but over time it will crumble, and the garbage will spread throughout the living quarters. In addition, the cortex may contain small insects. Yes, and clothes will cling to bumps.
You can get rid of the bark with an ax or a massive knife. Once this task is completed, you will need to go through the rest of the sandpaper several times - first coarse, then fine. After sanding, the surface will become smooth, and the likelihood of catching clothing will be minimized.
The next task is to make the base. As in construction, only that structure will be stable and durable, which is given integrity. Therefore, the base and tripod of the hanger must be one.
The base and tripod of the hanger must be one piece
You should not first make a cross, and then attach the body of the hanger to it from above - such a design will loosen very quickly and may fall out of the base under the weight of the clothes.
Here's a rule to follow - the bottom edge of the tripod should be flush (that is, on the same plane) with the sole of the base.
We proceed to measure the diameter of the barrel. We need it in order to select a bar of the appropriate width. If the bars are wider, then you need to saw off with a hacksaw along to the desired size.
The standard height of the hanger is in the range of 180-200 cm. For them, you need to make a cross with overhangs from 25 to 35 cm. Therefore, we need 2 bars 60 cm long, which we will cut exactly in the middle to get 4 blanks of 30 cm each.
Now the difficulties begin. Even if you contrive and attach these 4 bars to a round trunk, the structure will be unstable, and after the first fall, due to unevenly hung clothes, it will simply fall apart.
Therefore, we will proceed as follows: put the trunk on the floor and attach the resulting blanks to it from four sides. It will not work to connect them in this form, so we will make inserts in the form of triangular wooden elements on the bars exactly in the part where the body of the hanger is located. Such "triangles" are attached to the bars with self-tapping screws, and also to the tree trunk - in exactly the same way.
In order to strengthen the structure, in those places where the “triangles” will be attached to the bars and to the trunk, you must first drill holes with a drill with a diameter of 2-3 mm. less than the diameter of the fastener.
If you just screw the screws into the tree, then there is a possibility of cracks that weaken the structure.
After this procedure is completed, it is required to fill the resulting drilled spaces with glue, and only after that start screwing in the screws.
The resulting design of the floor hanger cannot be ideal in terms of stability - it often rolls over from one cross bar to another. To correct this shortcoming, you need to use pieces of rubber that should be glued to the bottom.
In order for the rubber to adhere perfectly to the surface of the wood, it is necessary to go over the surface of the wood with sandpaper and make several scratches in different directions.
The frame is ready, now you need to give the hanger functionality - add hooks for outerwear, which can be remote, that is, located at some distance from the trunk. There is one rule here: the center of gravity of the hanging clothes should not go beyond the cross, otherwise the structure will be unstable and fall.
It does not matter which hooks are used - homemade or decorative, you cannot attach them directly to the trunk, since the floor hanger will quickly become unusable. You can proceed as follows: cut out a square from the existing bars, the length of the sides of which will be several larger diameter trunk used as the body of the hanger. Before attaching the "square" to the top, you must first attach the hooks to it.
Decorative ones are more suitable, since it is very difficult to achieve a beautiful shape from wire. These hooks are attached to the tree, usually with one or two self-tapping screws.
If you have time and some skills in working with wood, then with the help of a chisel you can cut recesses in the squares attached to the top of the floor hanger in order to subsequently “drown” the base of the hook in them. This is a more aesthetic solution than just mounting on self-tapping screws.
After all the hooks are attached, you need a square wooden element connect to the top of the stem. This can be done with one or two screws using the technology described above.
The final stage of work is to give aesthetics to the resulting floor hanger. First of all, you need to close the lower part - the cross with all the fasteners. For this, it is allowed to use fabric, rattan, wooden or plastic slats. The hanger itself can be painted with a protective layer of paint or varnish - both natural color and any other, depending on colors room finishing. The layer must be applied at least 2 times.

The wall hanger is the most simple solution. It usually consists of a horizontal bar to which hooks are attached in one or more rows, it can be provided with an upper shelf for hats or a special cross beam for "shoulders".

It must be very stable so that the structure can withstand the weight of the clothes and not fall.

Floor hangers

- Metal.
- Forged.
- Wooden.

Metal hangers with elements of artistic forging are real works of art that will bring elegance to any hallway.
