If in the apartment there are special room or the place for drying of the washed clothes, then the owner was very lucky. And if it is not here, it is necessary to solve problem by own efforts. Handymen do wall clothes dryers for 5 steps, and special knowledge or special tools it is for this purpose not necessary.
The wall dryer is the most convenient design for placement of wet linen. It can be folding or folding, does not occupy a lot of space in the room or on the balcony, is used only when it is necessary. The most comfortable, capacious and compact, by right, the folding wall clothes dryer which can be made for only 5 steps is considered.
What tools and spare parts can be necessary
The principle of assembly of wall folding clothes dryer is not difficult. The main thing – before works to prepare the materials, necessary for its production, completing elements, accessories and tools. To make such design, will be necessary:
- wooden bars for production of frame,
- rods or thin-walled tubes, it is desirable metal,
- the sheet chipboard, laminated Chipboard or MDF for the dryer basis,
- ordinary furniture suspended loops,
- the folding mechanism – it can be made of the furniture gas-lift,
- set of fastening elements and latch fixer,
- paint on water or acrylic basis.
Enter the list of obligatory tools: the electrofret saw, drill and thin drills for it, the normal screw-driver 6-tigranka, the hammer, self-tapping screws for fastening of design. Set of necessary tools and components depends not only on type and features of the dryer, but also on on what plane it will fasten. Concrete walls require the perforator, dowels and the special fixing structures on the basis of pitches.
Preparation of frame members of the folding dryer
At the first stage of creation of the wall folding dryer its framework is formed – in bars openings into which rods or tubes are inserted are drilled. Then the framework is fixed by means of fastening elements, as a rule, of furniture.
For fixing, strong fixing of tubes or rods in bars of framework not the normal hammer, but the hammer with rubber bat is used. Operation is carried out without physical efforts, easy movements. Such approach will allow to avoid breakage of parts and their deformation.
After the framework of the dryer is built, it is necessary to its basis to attach the furniture gas-lift. This step is carried out according to the instruction or recommendations which are in accompanying documents of element. If try to sell you element without instruction, refuse purchase.
Painting of parts of the folding wall dryer
The clothes dryer has to be painted with eco-friendly structure which air temperature indoors quite high will not leave marks on wet linen even if. The type of paint depends on what the basis, framework and elements for linen is executed from. If elements from different materials, then it is necessary to buy several types of paint – for tree and metal.
Wooden elements of wall folding clothes dryer before coloring need to be processed the structures protecting from moisture. It will allow to prolong design life cycle considerably. General recommendations of painting of elements of future dryer such:
- the basis and framework are painted separately, to from fastening among themselves,
- if metal tubes are chosen, then paint them before placing in framework,
- the accessories on framework and the basis of the dryer are established after their coloring and full drying.
Painting of parts of the dryer can become the longest stage of its creation. It is impossible to hurry at all, it is necessary to wait until all layers dry. If several layers are put, for example, on wooden elements, it is necessary to dry each of them carefully.
Mounting of the basis and framework of the dryer
First of all on wall the basis of folding clothes dryer fastens. When choosing the place for the basis of the dryer it is important to consider that it should not block apertures of doors, otherwise it will be just inconvenient to use it.
If concrete wall, then it is necessary to drill in it openings by means of drill and the corresponding drills, to establish and fix in them dowels. Mounting of the big and heavy dryer will require installation of support – strong Bursa from tree with dense structure.
To the basis which is already fixed on wall the dryer and the folding mechanism fastens. The size of self-tapping screws has to correspond precisely to openings on elements of the folding mechanism, and their length to be no more than thickness of the basis and frame members. If there is no due experience with drill or the screw driver, then it is better to twist self-tapping screws by means of the screw-driver with 4 or 6 edges, depending on type of fastening elements. It is not recommended to use nails as they, as a rule, at loading leave walls or the basis of the dryer. When working the assistant has to hold framework and folding element.
Final stage of creation of folding clothes dryer
At the last stage it is recommended to check durability and density of all fastenings, functionality of folding elements. In the lower part of the basis it is possible to establish hooks for trifles, for example, of towels or holders of clothespegs. It is so possible to increase dryer capacity considerably.
Throughout operation of such dryer it is necessary to watch condition of elements of framework and the mobile mechanism, integrity of covering of parts. If on it there are chips or cracks, the damaged places are smoothed out, dried and only after that are tinted.
