In fact, this design can be created with ease yourself, for example, from plasterboard.

It is very popular in the setting of a modern apartment.

The cabinet, which is opened as a door in a train, has a unique design and takes up a minimum of space.

Doors of this design are opened without opening up, but moving apart.

Therefore, they like the owners of both chic and small apartments. The mechanism of extension of the leaflets is shown in the photo.

Versions of sliding-door wardrobes

The wardrobe may look different, it depends on the capacity of the room.

The design of the cabinet in the niche is simple and does not require much material, since its bottom, top, side walls are already made.

Manufacture of such a cabinet assumes only the arrangement of the door, which does not take any additional space.

The closet can be built between two walls. It will be similar to the option given above, but the groove is served by the whole wall completely, as seen in the photo.

This cabinet is installed in apartments of small dimensions so that it occupies little space. Another plus lies in the fact that the doors can be designed so that visually expand the area of ​​the room.

Sometimes a wardrobe is put in the recess of the partition between rooms. This is also a very convenient option for monolithic houses. The wardrobe can be made in the opening of the interior partition.

Its design can be finished inside with chipboard. This material is inexpensive, durable and durable.

It's much harder to make a corner closet. It will take a lot of material. Corner cabinet is built on a more complex scheme, rather than the already listed species. Its complex structure is shown in the photo.

Very uneasy and expensive design - two-way wardrobe. He divides the room into zones. It can be put in a posh mansion and even in an ordinary apartment in 2 rooms.

Such a cabinet has doors and is unusually decorated. The most important thing is that you can approach it from two sides.

Such devices for storing things can be put in any apartment. Furniture, created independently, does not hurt the budget.

Some manage to make a built-in wardrobe compartment with their hands not only in the hallway, but also in the pantry.

A cabinet opening as a train door is constructed from various materials, but it is popular to make it from plasterboard.

How to make the correct calculation?

Calculation is the first thing you need to do without fail. First determine where exactly the future piece of furniture will be.

In order to correctly calculate the necessary materials, it must be remembered that the construction is made from a depth of 50 cm, while 8 cm will take the doors.

The width of the cabinet should be a meter or more. It is necessary to start from the standard sizes, but this is not always possible in a modern apartment, where floor, ceiling and walls can be warped.

Is there any unevenness in the horizontal, check with the help of the building level. And if there are any errors in the vertical, they look through a plumb or the same level.

Hints can be found in the following video.

Suitable materials for the construction of this design are chipboard or chipboard, although it is now popular to build cabinets from plasterboard.

When the dimensions are determined, the calculation is made, you have to cut the materials, not making mistakes in centimeters.

It is important to cut the material with a stock, that is, more by 2 or 3 cm. Then the sheets will be easier to correct.

Drawing drawings

Door dimensions are very important. Wide doors are difficult to disclose, narrow - they make construction unreasonably expensive.

By the way, if the furniture is made of plasterboard, then the flaps will have to be done separately.

It does not matter where this piece of furniture will be, you must first calculate everything correctly, and only then build it correctly.

Since the doors will be in contact with each other, they should be the same thickness as the profile, about 4 centimeters. And the width of the sash must fit within the frame from 60 to 90 cm.

It is necessary to make drawings of the space inside the structure, not forgetting the thickness of the partitions. The distance between the shelves, as experts advise, can be in the range between 30 and 40 cm.

The appropriate height of the place where things will hang on the shoulders is equal to the length of the thing itself, plus another 10 cm.

The bar for the hangers is at shoulder level. If the future wardrobe is full of clothes, it is better to use a pantograph. How to use it, show many videos.

It is not recommended to create drawers for clothes very wide, this must be taken into account while still producing drawings. The permissible depth of the drawer - from 50 to 55 cm, 60 cm - is the last figure.

By all standards at the top of such a locker plan to make a shelf with a maximum length and width of half a meter.

And the rest of the space below is broken into compartments. How to calculate, show the following schemes.

Possible sizes of the

offices Everything that is inside must be submitted with drawings, which will allow the calculation to be carried out to the smallest detail.

There are several practical tips that will help you not get confused with the size and make the right calculation.

Elements inside the structure are created, given the number of leaflets. If there are two, the sections should be the same number.

Exceptions can be offices for very wide doors. But they should not have a width of more than one meter.

According to the instruction, focusing on which the internal filling is carried out, the bar is made longer than the shelves inside by a factor of one and a half.

When calculating, we must proceed from the dimensions of the cabinet. But the usual length of the bar - 0, 9 meters.

The storage shelves are usually made such that the opening between them is about 40 cm. If the shelves are intended for books, then their acceptable height is a minimum of 20 cm, a maximum of 35.

It is very important to calculate.

If the wardrobe for the hallway, where the outer clothing will hang, like raincoats, then the bay with the bar should have a height of one and a half meters. But for dresses there will be enough height of 80 cm, you can slightly more.

If the cabinet is filled as much as possible, it is better to assemble it with a width of 70 cm. Making the cabinet even wider is not recommended.

When the shelves and the bar are very long, it is better to install partitions to support the structure.

The bulkheads should be positioned in such a position that they are near the edges of the doors. If the door is mounted 2 doors, then it is more logical to make the cells narrow.

The calculation should be such that the middle of the compartments is in a blind zone.

Design, calculation and manufacturing are carried out so that the drawers do not end up in a blind area. Leaving them in the sides of the design, you can face the fact that the boxes will not be pulled out.

In addition, the drawings should reflect the marking of the elements on the chipboard. At the design stage, it is important to calculate how much hardware will be needed.

The manufacture of the closet will require the presence of metaboxes, pull-out hangers, baskets. You will also need stubs, screws and furniture corners to install the shelves.

Assembling the

structure When the circuits are thoroughly studied and the calculation is carried out correctly, it is possible to proceed to the construction of a cabinet made of gypsum board or other material itself.

Manufacturing and assembly begins with the installation of external walls, if any.

The rest of the parts are put in place throughout the work. The outer wall, compartments and racks are attached using the profile with the letter n.

The assembly process can be seen in the photo.

This profile disguises all the flaws in the wall. After that, you need to set the racks in the profiles. This will help kiyank and small boards.

Then it's time to collect mezzanine. To erect it, a U-shaped profile is installed horizontally on the racks. How to make a cabinet at this stage, shows the video.

The mezzanine is mounted on the profile, marking the position of the racks at the bottom of the shelf. Then the regiment must be removed from its place. To her, you need to attach the profile so that it will stand up.

The remaining area is filled with what you need. The shelves are installed on special corners.

Door guides

In the instructions on how to make a built-in closet with your own hands, great value are the guides.

They need to be mounted at the top and bottom of the opening to build both a corner and a standard built-in closet.

It is very popular to do the following: install a dual-rail system with a lower support, a dual-rail with an upper support or a multi-rail system.

On what the owner of the apartment will stop, depends only on his finances.

It is preferable to assemble the lower rail. This is because the system is as reliable as possible. The support is made by the rollers at the bottom, and the upper elements do not allow the doors to go beyond the design.

Pay attention to the photo and video in our article, which will show how to make a closet with your own hands.

If the guides are mounted, the doors do not touch each other when the doors are opened or closed. Better that the rollers were made of polypropylene.

Mounting them in special sockets is very simple: the upper rollers are inserted into the groove of the rail, lifting slightly, and the lower ones are inserted without problems.

The design of the upper rail, as seen in the photo, is special. Suspension for the door is transferred to the support of the upper rail, which is fixed to the ceiling, does not settle and does not accumulate dirt.

The cost of this hardware is not high, and to collect it, do not have to exert much effort. Its installation differs only in that the doors need to be slightly tilted down.

The disadvantage is one: with a strong push, the door falls into the structure, since the rollers at the top do not differ in the required rigidity.

When the monorail is made, each carriage has two pairs of wheels, and the suspension moves in its door.

But such a cabinet can only stand in the rooms where the adults live, as they need to use with caution.

This hardware is not cheap, but it makes the doors large, and the cabinet can be placed near a blind wall.

Installation does not oblige to level the ceiling or floor, however, it will require a lot of effort. In the rail you will need to insert all the carriages on the rollers, and then fix it on the ceiling.

Only after these actions you need to attach the door.

To install such a structure you need helpers. In addition, the accessories will need to be decorated with a decorative cover.

When a corner or built-in closet has been assembled, it's time to install the stoppers so that the doors do not come into motion by themselves.

Cabinet made of plasterboard

The cabinet made of gypsum board is so popular because this material is lightweight, it is very easy to work with and open new building possibilities.

But to build a cabinet made of drywall, you need to make a reliable frame based on profiles, which is shown in the photo.

But as a result, the cabinet made of drywall will be very beautiful.

To make its appearance aesthetic will help puttying and decorating. The video will tell about it.

Thus, to calculate how much material and accessories are needed, and to assemble a corner or conventional built-in closet is quite easy.

Only from gypsum cardboard it is not necessary to make sashes, for them another, more durable material is selected. A corner or ordinary cabinet without doors can not be called a cabinet.
