Suspending clothes rail
pledgeX
Posts: 527 Forumite
I've just bought a sliding clothes rail (this one), but I'm having a bit of a dilemma working out how to fix it.
I want to fix it to the ceiling, but the cupboard I'm putting it in has a substantial lip on the top edge (about 3 inches tall) meaning the rail needs to be fixed about 3 inches lower than the ceiling in order to allow it to slide out.
Any suggestions on the best way to fix it? I could just pack it out with a decent chunk of wood, but that'll be fairly heavy, and once the rail if loaded with clothes that's going to be heavy too.
Couple of pics in case it helps:
