Hang it high

• An old ladder or two small ladders
• Timber for the shelf – we used three pieces of scrap timber plank, each about 1.2m in length
• 32mm dowel, at least 1.3m long
• 2 x 32mm pipe clips
• Resene dropcloth
• Saw
• Resene sandpaper
• Resene MacGyver all-purpose paintbrush
• Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat
• Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel in your chosen colours (we used Resene Half Sauvignon and Resene Cosmos)
• Drill, screws and screwdriver

Stylist's notes

• To maximise hanging space add a second rail at a lower level. For safety, we recommend attaching the rack to the wall.

Method

1. Protect the floor with a Resene dropcloth.

2. Use a saw to cut the wooden ladder in half; skip this step if you have two ladders. (A)

3. Use a saw to cut wood planks to 1.2m (or longer if desired).

4. Use a saw to cut the dowel to 1.3m (or longer if desired). (B)

5. Sand all pieces and pipe clips. (C-D)
