How do I source this stand alone modular closet?

Do you think these are these freestanding armoires? I'd like this look but the closet companies tell me they can't do 9 foot doors as they will begin to warp. Any clue how to begin my search for these modular closets? My architect is clueless.

How do I start getting organized to move into new house?
Comments (21)Have you looked into items and spaces that will make life easier once you move in? Such as shelves in the laundry room, where you'll put the kitchen garbage pail, etc. I wanted to dwell on this point a little more, too. That you should focus on setting up the INFRASTRUCTURE you will need. I love infrastructure--we often ignore it, esp. stuff like shelving, etc. Be sure you have hooks for brooms, enough shelves int he closets (in any closet w/ shelves, seriously consider adding ONE MORE shelf) Then, you can decide what you want to put there. "Gumball Rally" is what I thought it was.And that's a great philosophy for lots of situations. Gloria, we're contemplating a move down the block, and my DH was saying "no need to pay movers except for the piano and the couch; we can just carry it down." Over my dead body! We've got 2 kids, and 4 people's worth of stuff. Last time we moved, I nearly killed one of his friends (who was helping us but wouldn't listen to me) out of frustration. I told DH then, we are never moving ourselves again. It is just TOO HARD. And, that same friend moved, w/ DH helping, and he packed some, moved some, etc. It's VERY inefficient. MUCH more efficient to pack everything, truck it over in ONE trip (get as big a truck as you need), and then unpack. I suppose 4 doors away doesn't require a truck, but it'll use a handcart, and major packing. I've really learned mylesson from watching those friends. Pack everything before you move ANYthing....See MoreHEIGHT & anchoring of stand-alone outdoor device boxes+receps
Comments (4)Oops, you are correct, sir! Since my box contains a "device", only RIGID or IMC would qualify as mechanical support. That's cool, since it didn't seem adequate to me anyway, and since I gotta stake the one anyway, might as well stake both. A pine-tarred 4x4 is a no-go, and I can't find that brand garden post--is it WIDE enough? I mean my (CANTEX) boxes have "ears" with mounting holes, which I assume are some STANDARD hole pattern, just as with the receptacles, faceplates, etc... am I naive to ASS-U-me that there "must be" several mfrs. who make a matching staking system? I'll have to press my local wholesaler... hmmm... new biz idea for fixizin? ;') As for the exposed Sch40, what's the theory/rationale with Sch80? Simply that it takes a few more visits from the hurried, careless lawnman to chew through the very same material? Sounds dubious. Surely, if I sleeve it with 1" RIGID (painted grass green, lol), I'm good to go, eh? Otherwise I'm digging down (hate digging), cutting off the Sch40, and using a coupler to weld in a piece of Sch80... sounds ugly....See MoreWhat wood do I use for custom closet that isn't crap?

Comments (22)connerhm the maple finished plywood is probably not as hard as an actual solid piece of maple. It's only got a thin layer of maple. I have worked with solid maple(ambrosia maple) and that stuff is hard but I didn't find working with it to be any more difficult then working with pine or the white wood stuff from Lowes. We sued the ambrosia maple for tabletops and desk tops. I actually preferred working with the harder wood. It didn't chip or splinter like softer woods. I have never worked with the maple finished plywood....See MoreRinky-dink linen closet re-do.
Comments (42)tartanmeup, I apologize if I seemed to ignore your longer post about paring down. Our internet is an on and off again thing combined with my aging pc means that some posts arrive late. Yes, I live in a rural area. For example, we left at 10am yest morning with our granddaughter, shopped at Target, late lunch, refuel car, then got back home just before her dad arrived after work to pick her up. Yes. I use the shampooer, about once a month. Cleaning chemicals: laundry pre-treatment, pine-sol, eco-friendly surface cleaner, oil for wood cutting boards, gallon jugs of vinegar and bleach. We keep batteries in the house since the summer heat resulted in throwing out a half package of AAAs a few years back. Linens: 2 bathrooms, 2 towels per person, extra hand towels for when grnddaughter gets one muddy, or uses it on one of our pets, or takes them to her outdoor play kitchen. She's an independent 5yr old and not a neatnik. Bath mats are a total of 4. Paper products are an issue for us. For some reason our one local market still has an aisle of nearly empty shelves. Even the Target we went to yesterday is still limiting purchases. So I try to keep 2 packs on hand, buying just one at a time. I don't buy the mega-packs because of my storage issues. Paper towels are bought 1 roll at a time. They are only used for messes that I choose to put the towel in the trash, like when a cat brings in his prize catch. I'm reluctant to reduce the quantity of dishrags and kitchen towels. I've been changing them everyday since I read an article about how they harbor clostridia, salmonella, e-coli, etc. I cut up some of the larger old feed sacks and hemmed them to use for daily scrubbing. Surfaces get dirty and gritty fast when that's what surrounds you and you have no mud room....See More

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoI went to IKEA again to check out the wardrobe doors. Maybe I was a little harsh with my judgement of them the first time around. I could do two of these 60" wide set ups with solid and mirror doors. They are almost 8 feet high. I could fit a 24 cabinet above or just leave it open. I did my best with the photoshop. Luckily I have time to wait... EVERY single wardrobe cabinet at IKEA is sold out.
