LOL, wow, that actually made me think of my childhood! We hung our coats in the stairwell (we had a really small house). In the winter time, if you weren’t paying attention and brushed against it, you’d get the aforementioned coat avalanche.

I made 2 reeeeeal long ones – not too heavy, out of a couple of thin boards and a couple of dowels cut to peg lengths. I was looking for something for a bedroom with 3 boys and all those ball caps! Didn’t have to be too heavy. Made them the length(width) of the closet doors, then hung one over the other, high enough to be out of the way of closing the door. Some are harder to get to, but they are out of the way and off the floor.

Hope you used really long screws! I did something similar, and eventually the entire thing pulled out of the studs. Big crash. Who knew that last ball cap was that freakin’ heavy?
Sigh.

Great idea! I’m going to have to do this for us!

Okay, are you spying on us? My eldest’s hook just broke the other day and she’s distraught. I didn’t want to replace it with something just as wimpy. Yours sounds perfect!

Oh if only I had a good spot for a rack in this house. I love hooks. Nothing easier…

We just had to add two more racks of hooks to our coat-hanging area. Four people plus winter in Montana = a million coats. We need to put one down low for the kids, but that project might have to wait a bit.

You are a genius! Of course, the more pegs you put there, the more stuff you can cram on them. That stupid filling to fit the space phenomenon!
