Project: Rustic Coat Rack





Very simple to make. Once again I used wooden pallet planks to make this entryway coat rack. You will need 2 shorter plank pieces to attach the coat rack to the wall and support the longer planks. I only used 3 long planks because we only have a narrow wall area in our entry but you can use as many as you wish. Sand each plank until smooth to remove any splints or rough areas which may snag clothing/coats. I also used sandpaper to round off some of the edges.




Arrange the planks into the pattern you wish, check your measurements for equal spacing and drill holes if necessary to fit the size of the coat hook screws and to secure rack to the wall. Alternatively you could nail the pieces together in you desired pattern. I used longer screws on the bottom short plank and screwed together. 




You can paint, stain and/or varnish but I left mine unfinished for a simple rustic look!




Simply attach your hooks, measure and mark its positioning and required height on the wall. Hang your coat rack et voila!!
