Multi Hangers
Storage space has been a concern for many people living in small houses, apartments, or even college dorms. If you share a room with a roommate and you are only provided with a small closet, it would be a great hassle for you to store clothes and other accessories. Fortunately, several devices have been invented that create extra storage space within a given closet. Multi Hangers are one such device.
What are Multi Hangers?
As is evident from the name, multi hangers allow multiple garments to be hung from a single hanger, creating more space within a wardrobe. These hangers come in many shapes, sizes and models for various articles of clothing. They are made of different materials too, such as plastic, metal or wood. The common feature between most multi hangers is that they make use of the vertical space in the closet, thus creating more horizontal space.
Types of Multi Hangers
Before you start shopping for these space savers, it would be a good idea to get a rough picture of the types available. Some of them are:
- Cascading Hangers: These hangers are great to store shirts, blouses, sweaters, etc. They consist of a strip of plastic, with a series of pegs one below the other. On the top of the strip is a single hook that is attached to the closet rod. Multiple clothes hangers can be hung on to these pegs, creating a lot of free space. Alternatively, cascading rings are sold separately, that can be attached to normal clothes hangers. This also enables multiple clothes to be hung one below the other.
- S Hook and Chain: A variant of the cascading hanger, this is a much simpler multi hanger. You can purchase an S hook and a chain with big loops from any hardware store and install it in your closet. The big loops are where you can hang clothes hangers, again one below the other.
- Horizontal Multi Hanger Bar: This type of hanger comes with two hooks, in between which a long bar is attached. The two hooks latch on to the closet rod. On the horizontal bar in between them, are a series of holes or hooks, from where clothes hangers may be suspended.
- Multi Pant/Skirt Hanger: This is a hanger with a single hook at the top and four or five horizontal bars attached below. Several pants can be draped over these bars, making their storage easier. For skirts, clips are provided with these multi hangers, allowing them to be hung up straight.
- Multi Shirt Hanger: This hanger has a hook at the top and four to five bars attached vertically, that are shaped like shoulders. This allows shirts to be hung one below the other.
These are a few types of multi hangers available in the market today. The best place to shop for such hangers is the internet. You can find several varieties available for sale on websites. All you need to do is select what you need and have them delivered to your doorstep.
