  • I'm planning to build a basic alcove wardrobe. My plan is to make a frame like the pic I've tried to attach. I was then thinking I'd clad it in ply and put doors up, ordering everything pre-cut.

    I have two initial questions and would also really appreciate anyone pointing out the flaws in this plan that I've likely missed.

    Skirting - to my mind the easier option seems fitting out a section (angle grinder/dremel?!) To allow the use of long straight pieces for the frame. But maybe this is a shit idea? Should i be trying to 'scribe' the ply to fit? I have neither the tools nor skill to attempt that. Could likely borrow the former but the latter feels a stretch.

    Attaching frame to wall: 90% sure it's solid brick, planning to just use standard rawlplugs to a decent depth. Anything I'm not thinking about?

    Cheers

  • I guess it's absolute basic would be a hanging pole and various shelves n hooks etc hidden by a curtain ceiling to floor.. so could the (I'm assuming not yours) ever so slightly over engineered frame be replaced with a whole two part hinged door / in a if opened all is revealed way or a more simple yet poncy design.. if not fisher hammerfix are great to secure battening

  • If I take your meaning this wouldn't work because the alcove itself isn't deep enough, so need to build the wardrobe out into the room to give sufficient space.
