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

Step 4 Install the vertical support bar

What we have now is a mounted horizontal bar with a coupling about 10" from the right wall, and a reducing tee that slides freely on the bar.

We located the center of the bar and moved the tee to that area.

Then I placed the vertical support bar, which consisted of a 5ft. bar with a flange on the bottom, and a coupling connected to a 5" nipple at the top.

Slightly flexing the horizontal bar up, the support bar screws into the tee from the bottom.

I leveled the vertical bar in 2 directions, and marked the floor where I was going to drill 2 holes into the concrete.

Then I drilled through the hole in the tee into the horizontal bar.

I drilled the holes into the floor using a 1/4" masonry bit, and then I tapped 2 plastic plugs into the holes.

Then I screwed the vertical support bar's flange to the floor.

The next step is to put a screw through the hole in the tee, and into the pipe.
This secures the tee to the pipe to keep it from sliding around.
