Even the most inexperienced person in this business is able to independently design and build a device for himself. You just need to know some of the features and prepare the necessary materials and tools, without which you can not do.

How to calculate the optimal size

It is important to consider that the product must be manufactured with a margin.That is, if shoes of size 42 will fit in the shelf, then you need to add at least another 1-2 centimeters. Of course, if you have small footwear in your family, you can vary the size. Therefore, the main factor from which the scale varies is the foot size of users. In addition, in order to determine the parameters of the future invention for sure, it is necessary to put together all the existing shoes and plan how much space it will take. It is also worth paying attention to the number of shelves, there are usually 3 or 4 of them.

REFERENCE! Take stock into account. So, if the thickness of the chipboard is 16 millimeters, then 32 mm will be the width of the entire cabinet more than the shelf. So, the standard parameters: height - 1.2 meters, depth - 0.32 m, width - 0.9 m.

5. One sheet of fiberboard is needed to create the back wall. 1195 mm vs 895 mm.

Assembly

To properly assemble the entire structure, it is advisable to follow the following algorithms:

• As for the back wall, it is the need for fastening with screws.
• After the presented actions, it is worth doing shelf holders and pens. They need to be attached, and then hang shelves.
• You decide the location of the structure yourself: you can put it on the floor, then it will be possible to sit down with shoes, or you can hang it. As a support, you can also build an additional countertop.
