A clothes hanger next to the washer dryer that doesn't take much room and can be folded away
Can't recall where I saw one I copied the idea from.
A hook, an eye, a clothes rod dowel, and a clothes rod support, the open top kind. Very simple.
You need a pretty stiff hook and eye because if you make this thing long and you hang a lot of clothes from it there is a lot of cantilevered weight. This is about the third hook and eye. the others straightened out after some use. Of course I told my wife it was a for a few clothes and she hangs the entire wash stored there. You need to anchor the base to a stud, too!
There's a practical limit to the length due to the cantilever forces. I would say not more than 2 feet!
Can't see it but the end of the rod has a 1/4" dowel sticking up about 1/2" to keep clothes from sliding off the end. Ah, you can see it in the picture of the rod stored away, at the end pointing down.
Coarse adjust the tilt of the rod by the position of the hook; and by trimming the end of the rod. You can fine adjust the tilt of the rod by how much the eye is screwed in.
Been in use daily for 30 years now.
