Black Pipes as Closet Rods

Just to let you know
my contractors use pipes to use as rods in my closets!
I never have to worry about my clothes falling to the floor and the way the rod pockets are made it just adds support to my shelves above.
I paint the pipes with white enamal paint and looks great as well!

Finished closet

We had these when we were young and remember that we had to tug a bit for the hangers to slide, so I was wondering if the plastic covers they sell for shower curtain rods would also fit these pipes. The hangers would slide more easily.Helpful Reply -

I use galvanized pipes for my rods, they are so much stronger that what they sell as closet rods. Been using them for yearsHelpful Reply -

They did this years ago, much cheaper and much sturdier, until they came up with the metal stuff they use today - more expensive and not as sturdy. Yes, put a shower rod cover on it, works like a charm. I also put a shower rod cover on my metal bars, stops them from being scratched and they slide easier. Only thing is you have to cut them to fit the spaces.Helpful Reply -
