WIR - how do I install the same amount of hanging space below the existing one making sure it won’t bow in the middle.
Existing hanging space span is 1560 wide.
One end is a gyprock wall (existing hanger is attached to timber of shelf) the other side is a timber panel, floor is carpeted.
thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Gina59. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing a hanging rail.
Perhaps you could use the Sandleford 900mm Chrome Ceiling Support Rod attached at the top to provide the mid-support for the lower rail. Alternatively, you could install an additional laminate shelf and run a rail like the top under it.
How much room do you have to the right of the current hanger? Would it be worth removing the shelf and extending the rail to the right? You could then create additional storage underneath the hanging clothes and we have quite a few solutions.
Here are a couple of helpful articles: 5 ways to add more storage to your wardrobe and Five ways to maximise wardrobe space.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
