How to Install a Closet Rod on an Angled Wall

Measure the length of your longest piece of clothing, using the tape measure. Add 8 to 12 inches, this is the necessary height for the bar. Mark this spot on the wall. Find your widest piece of clothing and measure across it, and add enough width to compensate for the upward slope; this determines the open distance from the flat wall, and the point directly above where you'll install the rod. Mark that with a pencil, as well.

Hold the bar up against the mark on the ceiling; you might even hang something long or wide from it, just to be sure. Find the right spot, and draw lines at either end of the rod.

Set a bracket against the wall and mark inside its screw holes. Do this for the other end of the rod, also.

Insert the screw anchors into the wall, using a screwdriver, in the place where the hang bar supports will be.

Install the hang bar supports, using the hardware included with the screw anchors and a screwdriver.

Attach the rod by inserting it into its brackets.
