Designing & installing a pallet wall closet using closet components from ModularClosets.com

Before Pic: Prep

Prep your closet by removing all pre-existing wire shelving & window moulding. Mark off the wall studs.

Harvesting Pallet Wood Boards

Use a Sawzill or reciprocating saw to saw through the nails & separate the boards from their wooden anchor spine. Sand down.

Nail Pallet Boards to Wall

Stagger boards on wall for effect, leaving open space behind the drawer unit (the drawers block the open space from being seen)

Great Tip: Marking Roof Angle

Mark the angle of your ceiling by leveling your board to be trimmed at 90 degrees to your angle. Trace the slant using a second board held along the angle, as shown. Trim on the mark.

Complete Pallet Wall

Fill in any open spaces with pallet wood. In addition, use wood stain in between the cracks to fill in the space completely.

Build 6" Closet Base

Mount Closet Components on 6" base build from matching filler strips & mount closet units on top. Measure 14" for the closet depths and 2-3 additional inches for the pallet wall. Begin base there.

Closet Angle: Work Along the Angle

Using Shelf Towers to flank the window & center drawers, fashioning hanging space from a rod & shelf & an additional small Shelf Unit, the closet descends in a staggered height along the slope of the ceiling for a symmetrical effect.
