Today’s Tip: DIY Closet Pole

Want an awesome closet pole that allows hangers to slide easily, won’t sag, and is easy to install? Make it

yourself using black gas pipe, flanges, and drywall screws. Cut (or have cut) a 3/4 inch diameter pipe to length. Insert it into two 1 inch flanges. Note: Wash the pipe and flange before installing it with a household detergent that cuts grease like Pine Sol or Simple Green.
