If there is not enough space for storing things( if they have accumulated a lot) or simply with a small total area of the apartment( if it is not very lucky), the idea arises as to how, on the existing living space, you can still place clothes, shoes, andsomething other. And so that not all of this is conspicuous. And here comes the thought of a closet-compartment. You can, of course, buy, order, but you can do it yourself. If there are hands and desire, then it is not so difficult.
Determine the design of the closet
The place where the cabinet will stand, how convenient it is to place it, and, of course, what will it be? That is, how many shelves, doors, boxes. It is best to see or ready-made construction from acquaintances, in a store or a catalog of closets-a coupe, for example, in a store, on the Internet. By the way, the sellers and thoughtful throwing. Then there will be a complete picture of what we want to get as a result. Well, measuring, of course - you need to measure out all the space in the installation place and carefully write everything down.
Making the drawing of the
cabinet Any serious design is collected according to the drawings. You can do this with a pencil and ruler, or you can on your PC if you have the right program and skills to work with it. First, the drawing will help to clarify how best to design a cabinet. It is better to see the entire "picture" visually. Secondly, having such a "breadboard" and dimensions, it is easier to determine the necessary materials and their quantity.
We prepare parts
Material( chipboard, hardware) is better to buy imported. Slightly more expensive, but the quality is higher. Cutting sheets can be done by yourself, but you can negotiate through friends( on the machine) or saw in the store. If the sheets of chipboard cut themselves, then you need to monitor so that there are no chips and errors in the markup. It is best to use a hacksaw for metal, as its fine teeth are cut more evenly. On the edge of the details of wood we glue a special edge( also need to be purchased).This is done with an iron, and then the gaps are removed with an ordinary knife.
The doors are a special issue - it's best to make them on order. Then the "specialists" will immediately select the necessary rails for them. Otherwise, then there may be problems with moving the doors.
We are assembling the
cabinet. We make the assembly either on the corners, or we use the "Eurovint".First of all, we collect the frame. Then the back wall. Do it better by putting the cabinet on the floor, so it will be more convenient. But with the fixing of all the "insides" you need to decide when the frame is ready and we lifted it from the floor. All sorts of boxes, shelves are fastened or "tightly", or made removable.
At preliminary survey of any ready-made cabinet it is necessary to pay special attention to the fastening of the "internals".Then the assembly of your cabinet will not seem complicated. Also I recommend to look through the step-by-step video instruction on the assembly of the sliding-door wardrobe:
