Upgrading Your Closet Storage with Ease
As a homeowner, I’m always looking for ways to maximize storage and organization in my home. My closets tend to get cluttered with too many clothes and not enough places to put them. I recently decided it was time to upgrade the closet rods to gain more usable hanging space.
After doing some research, Everbilt closet rods stood out as a top choice. Everbilt is a product line from The Home Depot with a reputation for good quality at affordable prices. I wanted to make sure I picked out the right Everbilt rod for my needs. Here are the top 10 tips I learned during my buying journey:
1. Measure Carefully
First things first—measure the closet carefully to find the correct length rod you need. Everbilt rods come in common sizes including 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 inches. Measure the width of your closet first, then account for a little extra space on each side for the support brackets. Getting the size right avoids having a rod that’s too small or leaves awkward gaps.
2. Consider Adjustability
One great feature of Everbilt rods is adjustability. Several of their rods can extend from 12 inches up to 48 inches using an adjustment screw. This makes the rods versatile for closets of different widths. It also allows you to reconfigure the rod in case you move it to a new closet down the road.
3. Know the Different Shapes
Everbilt rods come in rounded and flat shapes. The rounded rods have a diameter of 1 to 1 1⁄4 inches, giving clothes plenty of room to hang freely. The flat rods take up less space and can allow you to hang more items. However, some clothes hang better from round rods. Choose the shape based on your closet layout and types of clothes.
4. Pick a Sturdy Option
Check the weight capacity of any rod you choose. Everbilt rods can hold up to 130 pounds or more. Sturdy steel rods with brackets that extend into the wall can handle heavier items like coats and dense fabrics. If you’ll be hanging lighter items like blouses or shirts, you may not need the highest weight rating.
5. Match the Finish
Everbilt rods come in classic finishes like satin nickel, brushed nickel and white. This makes it easy to match or coordinate your rod with existing closet décor and hardware. Oil-rubbed bronze and black finishes are also available for a more modern style. Pick a finish that flows with the vibe you want for your closet.
6. Include High-Quality Hardware
The right brackets and screw anchors are key for properly installing a closet rod. Most Everbilt rods include mounting hardware made of steel for strength. Some also have plastic anchors for drywall or concrete installation. Using the matching hardware ensures everything fits and works together.
7. Check Weight Ratings
When loaded up with clothes, a closet rod can gain a lot of weight. Be sure to get an Everbilt rod rated for the load you plan to put on it. For example, the 72-inch flat steel rod can hold a full 300 pounds. Shorter or rounded rods may max out at 130 pounds. Size up if you’ll be packing a lot onto the rod.
8. Get the Proper Mounting Height
Mounting a rod too high or low in your closet leads to unused space. Standard installation height is around 84 inches from the floor to the bottom of the rod. This leaves space below for boxes, shelves, and shoes. Make sure the brackets position the rod at the right place in your closet.
9. Allow Room to Hang Freely
When installed, the rod should have enough clearance so clothes can slide freely. Usually 2 inches of space around is ideal. The rod, hangers and clothes shouldn’t bang into walls or other surfaces when moved. If space is tight, consider closer-set double rods to double hanging capacity.
10. Read Reviews from Buyers
The best judge of an Everbilt rod’s quality and value will be people who have bought and installed one. Read user reviews on Home Depot’s website for feedback on the rods’ sturdiness, appearance and ease of installation. See what existing customers have to say before making your own purchase.
With the right measurements, materials and configuration, an Everbilt closet rod can provide that ideal space for hanging and organizing clothes in your closet. Keep these helpful tips in mind while shopping to find the perfect rod to upgrade your closet storage. The right rod makes it easy to de-clutter and get the most use out of this important space in your home.
