Super strong clothes hanging bar for your closet, on a budget

Step 2 Drill the holes, install the left flange

We decided to reinstall the old wire shelf just to use as storage above the new clothes bar. This saved us from having to patch all the holes that would have been left behind if we removed the shelf.

It also helped us to easily line up and center where the new bar would be fastened, which was directly below the area that the old bar sat in.
We installed it with 11 1/8" toggle bolts along the back, and 3 of the 3/16" toggle bolts for the lower supports

The left side of our closet was just plain drywall with hollow wall behind it, so I used 2 of the 3/16" toggle bolts staggered diagonally with 2 of the 1/8" toggle bolts.

Since the holes are so close together in the flanges, I wanted to minimize the possibility of the toggle bolts overlapping each other.

We marked the holes and I used a large punch and a hammer to get the holes in the drywall.

Once the left side was mounted loosely, I punched the drywall on the right side, then used a 3/8" masonry bit to drill into the concrete block directly behind the wall.

When the holes were drilled, I inserted the knotting anchors through the drywall and into the concrete block.
