I use the non slip matting which I have in the cupboards.

I just cut a strip the length of the rail and a bit wider than the circumference of the rail.

Then glue it onto the hanging rail...... now you have a non slip hanging rail.... simples..:thumb:

Or cut a piece of ribbed hose the same length as your rail, and slide it on. Stops hangers sliding a treat!

Simple .. Remove the rail, fit shelves made from old bread trays ( strong and light ) and no need for hangers ( and of course 4 times the storage space of that small hanging area )

if your hangers have metal hooks simply bend the hook until its a good fit over the rail.

plastic hooks, you could soften with a hair drier and bend the same way

clothes rail

Hi
I took the foam pipe insulator route and it keeps the hangers on, however, all I have to do now is figure a way to keep the clothes on the hangers.
Not much help I'm afraid. Keith:Cool:

Get a woman, she will pack so much in that nothing can move never mind fall off.

Hold on a second.... If you are single why the heck are you using a wardrobe anyway? Confused now:Doh::Doh::Doh::Doh:

Rubber bands (the sort the Post Office use are great) wound round the arms on the hangers. That seems to work. Jane :Smile:

Hi, we used to have this problem, not always but enough to be a nuisance.

We use that ribbed plastic tubing you see behind desks to keep cables together. no problems since.
