Wardrobe rail brackets?

Options
Can anyone suggest a wardrobe rail bracket to attach to a wall that gives a clearance of about 30cm at all? Needs to connect at the rear of the rail and give enough space for a hanger?

I'm having trouble finding one :confused: and I need it there as my new built in wardrobe has a solid wall at the rear and not the sides.

Many thanks :)

    try B&Q they do a range of different rails and fixing options if you cannot find the product online telephone them. we got ours from them, they do a range of sizes and finnishes. have you thought about runing a vertical length of timber three inches wide and fix that to your none solid walls making the length of the timber fit from the floor to the top of the wardrobe do the same at both the left end and the right end then attach your rail to this, most none solid (stud walls) will have fixings every sixteen inches from left to right, what I usually do is get a very small drill, be sure no cables run in the stud walls and drill into the stud with the small drill bit several times until you hit one vertical peice of timber then measure from that to find out approx sixteen inches to where your next vertical peice of timber should be, failing that then just two lengths of timber as I first suggested.

    Thanks I had thought about using the fixings but I would still need some form of support in the middle as it is about six feet long.

    Any ideas?

    if not just look at the hafele online wardrobe fitting section, they will have something for you.
    you cannot buy from them direct as you ned an account but people like b&q buy from these so i would goto your local hardware shop (that supplys joinery companys) and ask them and they will order you them in.
