Double Rod Closet Heights

Two tier hanging rod heights are not set in stone.

Double rod closet heights.

There must be 42 to 44 inches between the rods to allow adults shorter. One rod is mounted just below the top shelf and the other rod is mounted 42 inches above the floor. Different from single rod height you should mount the top rod of a double bar system around 6 75 ft above the floor. Double rod closets are intended to be used for hanging shirts and pants which are generally less than 40 inches long.

For a single rod closet the standard rod height is 66 5 inches. If installing a double rod closet system mount the top rod 81 inches above the floor and the lower rod 40 inches above the floor. This arrangement allow you to easily hang everyday shirts. Continue to allow about 24 inches of space from the rod to the back of the wall but increase the height of the top rod.

Make this a full 80 1 4 inches above the ground which is high enough to hang two levels of clothing with 40 inches in between. If you are installing dual rods in the closet the hanging measurements and spacing changes. Another factor that will shift this height is if you choose to use a double rod system in your closet. This arrangement will make you effortlessly hang everyday blouses shirts shorts folded pants and blazers on the secondary bar.

This allows a double deck arrangement of closet rods below this shelf. In these cases the upper rod is usually installed at a height of 80 inches while the lower rod is positioned at 40 inches. At 7 feet high the top shelf is a stretch for many people. Meanwhile the lower rod should be set up around 3 3 ft above the floor.
