Weekend Project: Hanger on laundry sorter


We've had a laundry sorter with a hanger on our wish list for a while now. I recently did some shopping for one, and the closest to what we wanted was over a hundred dollars. The thing is, we already have a laundry sorter that we like. We just wish there was a hanger on it.

What to do? Why, put on on there myself.

I spent a few hours this weekend and produced this:

I used a couple of 10' PVC pipes. They were 1 inch, high pressure pipes for sturdiness. To mount the hanger on the cart, I cut the 'T' fittings into half circles and fastened them to the cart handles with band clamps. The handles are not round which gives unexpected stability once the band clamps where tightened. I thought I might have to put cross members on it to keep it from lurching; but it is very solid.

Total cost: about 4 hours of time (including shopping and cleanup) + $27 in material.

  1. StorageManiac Laundry Sorter from Bizarkdeal

    I received my StorageManiac 3 Lift-off Bags Laundry Sorter, and I have wanted one of these since I first saw them. I love the 3 separate bags for all types of laundry. The bonus for me is the ironing pad on top which you can leave up, till you need to iron. If you are just needing and extra place for parties, holidays to put stuff on throw a cloth over it and there you have extra same.. This is the first I have saw like this. The bags are washable. When it come you have to assembly it, but it took me a whole maybe 5 minutes. This is not one of those cheap made sorters, this one is very strong, and sturdy. It is a welcome addition to my wash room. I absolute love this Laundry Bag Sorter and Ironing Board, I would recommend this product to everyone.
