Finally an instructional video on working with this issue that has sufficient detail, explanation and demonstration. !! Nice work!
Thank you! I completed my project with the help of your tutorial. I had been putting it off for months bc I was intimidated. I did it 😁
This is a hidden gem of UA-cam. Thank you sir. Informative, demonstrative and you got on with it.
Undertaking this project this weekend, and you saved me a lot of head scratching.
Great video! Thank you! I expected a stud and could not find one and then I did not know what to do. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thank you so much!! I was looking for a way to fix my closet! My closet shelving keeps falling down and I realized that whoever installed it didn't anchor anything to the drywall and that's why it keeps falling!
This helped me get an idea of what my husband was talking about! 😂 I wasn't sure how wall anchors were going to help with a stringer but it appears that it is strong enough.
You should use toggle drywall anchors. They go behind the drywall and hold onto more surface area making them super strong. Really no chance they will rip out with nromal weight. I use them at work for mounting grave objects to wall when I can't find a stud. Haven't had an issue yet
Those are the best. I'm not a fan of the ones used in this video.
I tried using the toggle ones but they ripped right out when the clothes were put on the rod. Wasn't strong enough to hold the amount of clothes a friend needed me to store for her after hurricane Ian. I've used the ones he's talking about for other projects and they haven't ripped out as yet. Don't blink, it could happen any time around my house. I'm in the process of replacing everything in this particular closet and this video is really helpful in a lot of ways.😊
This is exactly what I needed, thanks for the thorough instructions!! I have a closet shelves to install now. Lol
Aren't there studs in the corners? Why not just screw the board into the corner studs and call it a day?
really nice video man. simple, straightforward, all about the skill, practical very useful, and just nice. thank you
Thank you, just what I was looking for. Watched several videos
and this one seems to fit my problem. I am not very handy, but am willing to try. You explained the process well. Here's hoping 👍
good luck!
Can't you just do it without the wood??? Like using the anchors directly on the metal rod on the drywall?? Please let me know. Thanks.
What type of wood is he using? Or what do you recommend doing this. Great video btw helps a lot
I'm super confused. Why not just screw the curtain rod brackets directly into the drywall using anchors? Why bother with a stringer if the stringer is fastened with anchors?
it wont hold the wright
Great video! What dimensions are the stringer? Is there a certain kind of wood you prefer?
thanks @zipzapdiy for your video and recommendations. I built a closet system this past weekend that matches the cleat system in the rest of my 1950's house. i liked the anchor screws your suggested.
You're welcome! I'm a big fan of those anchors, I've yet to have a problem with them on all the projects I've done with them.
I need to mount my stringer to a wall WITHOUT drilling holes for anchors. Are there any strong enough adhesive to hold cabinets? I want to do a top and bottom stringer.
I think you may also need support boards underneath that board.
Thank you!
How did you secure it to the other side where the shelving unit is? That is where I'm concerned it won't be strong enough if I use short screws that don't go through my shelves.
short screws should be strong enough if placed in solid wood.
@@ZipZapDIY what about Mdf that was used for shelving?
@ZipZapDIY Are you using a true 1x6" board x depth of closet, not nominal (off the shelf) board (which would be less than 6" for a 1x6)?
Thanks for this video my guy. Very helpful and got the job done.
Great tips
These are the drywall anchors I used in the video: E-Z Anchor amzn.to/1SNXJQH

would gib hold the weight of all my clothes? even if there is drywall ancors would the gib collaps over time?
This closed rod installation method is super strong, if you use multiple anchors (the ones recommended and in this video hold 75lbs each) use a good board, spread the weight out over the board, use a quality heavy duty closet rod, then you should be fine. The closet rod installation in this video uses a 6ft rod and is fully loaded and solid.
Do you think this would work in an rv closet? I'm scared to drill any holes in those walls. I think they are hollow. Also, is your stringer board 1x5? (I just read the comments, 1x3 or 1x4). I'm trying to figure out if I need to tweek anything you used for my 13 1/2"w x 25 1/4" deep x 45" high closet. My concern is not to collapse my closet walls with whatever I do. It currently has a flimsy plastic rod in the ceiling coming loose. So are you saying dont use the screws that came with the anchors? Instead #10, 2" drywall screws?
Other RV'ers: better to build your closet support system from scratch, not relying on your RV walls - which are hardly more than 2x2's, with material you can not so readily repair in event of an oops. Yikes.
Thank you, thank you!
Is it possible to put the stringer with in the wall? So it won't be seen?
that is a good idea, yes you can... you can either cut out the drywall and set the stringer in flush in that cutout across the studs or cut out the drywall, lay the stringer behind between the studs (like blocking when framing a house) and then repair the drywall over it.
Awesome. Thank you for your response!
are you saying "Stringer"?
Stringer? Does homedepot sell that or does it need to be cut?
it's just a piece of wood, a 1x3 or 1x4, yes.
The shelving unit.....did you build it yourself or is it the type that you put together straight from a box and mounted to the wall? If you built it, do you have a video or instructions for it? Also how would you mount it to the wall?
The shelving is a closetmaid closet kit. It has a bracket for bracing to wall, and I used the same wall anchors in the video to brace it to the wall. no video of it being assembled, but it goes together like any flat pack furniture (think IKEA)

What type of
rod is that, and size.
autumnmass11 from home depot, Closet Max 1-5/16 heavy duty brushed nickel closet pole
What kind of drywall anchors do you use?
I always use these... www.homedepot.com/p/E-Z-Ancor-Twist-N-Lock-75-lb-Medium-Duty-Drywall-Anchors-50-Pack-25310/100040265 most times I will drill a pilot hole, but it is not necessary with these anchors.
@@ZipZapDIY what size drill bit for the pilot holes for the anchors?
I use 7/32, could be smaller
@@ZipZapDIY thanks! doing this project this weekend.
Will the closet maid hold the weight of the clothes on the rod? I loved this video and will definitely give this shot!
Swati Shah Thx,.Yes, the heavy duty rod holds with no noticeable deflection when fully loaded.
Swati Shah did you try the closet maid.. ive tried and the answer is no.. you've probably got a better result
Thank you. I've gone bald scratching my head trying to figure something out lol. This will help me a great deal in building my closet.
