Wooden Closet Rods Are TERRIBLE! Try This Better Alternative...(Metal Clothing Rod Install Tips)

One of the things I see people do wrong all the time when they set up a new closet is use wooden closet rods/clothing rods. These things are terrible! This short video from The Honest Carpenter will show you a much better, very similar alternative--metal closet rods!

Metal closet rods come in the same dimensions as wooden closet rods, but they're a far more suitable material.

Metal closet rods look better than wooden clothing rods, and they're more functional. They come with either a chrome finish, or a sprayed-on, ceramic-like white or black finish. Clothes hangers slide far more easily across this surface!

Metal closet rods install similarly to wooden closet rods. Simply measure your closet opening, transfer this measurement to your closet rod, and cut it to length with a hacksaw.

Closet rods come with brackets that mount to sidewalls. I prefer to mount these to trim plates on the side walls, because it's a much stronger connection.

Thanks for watching!
