The closet in question measure 22" deep, 64" wide. The doorway is only 47" wide.

So I went to the hardware store. I had them cut a plank of 3/4" plywood into 2 shelves measuring 22" x 64".

...Spacers

I also had some 2x4's cut into 2' sections for use as spacers.

Clean Out the Closet

Take everything out of the closet.

Put in the Shelves

There's some molding running around the bottom of my closet, so I put down a couple 2x4's to protect the molding. Then I carefully put both shelves inside.

Once both shelves were in, I muscled them up and put in the first set of spacers.
