Re: How to fix wardrobe wobble?
Hello @Shareef790
Thank you very much for sharing your wardrobe project. That was very clever of you to join 4 interior doors to form a wardrobe frame. In order to provide extra support, I suggest installing a 2400 x 1200mm 16mm MDF Panel Standard at the back of your wardrobe frame. I propose cutting the MDF panel in half along the 2400mm length. Place one half panel at the bottom and the other half at the top.
I suggest using Zenith 10G x 50mm Countersunk Rib Head Chipboard Screws - 50 Pack to anchor the panel to the back of your wardrobe frame. I recommend a minimum gap of 100mm between screws so that the panel will provide good support. The purpose of the back panel is to provide shearing support and prevents your frame from wobbling.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
