I'm planning to install sliding doors in the hallway. On the ceiling on the side, there is a ventilation duct which means that the doors can't go all the way to the ceiling. I was thinking of solving this by making a shelf above the sliding doors which the doors can also be attached to underneath. What material should I choose so that it can be drilled into and becomes stable.. or does anyone have another idea?
Hello,
I'm not entirely sure I understand your question correctly, and the choice of materials can also be affected by surface layers and other surrounding factors.
But a common and simple material is to use, for example, laminate boards or stave-glued boards.
I would probably tear out the whole wardrobe and build a solid wall right under the vent. duct and let the sliding doors go towards that wall. Inside the solid wall section, you could, for example, have shelves and/or let the clothes rod go in behind the wall section.
This is what it looks like in one of our sliding door wardrobes, it's just temporary with a clothes rod that stands on legs until we've decided exactly how we want it and until we've bought the fittings we want;
the wardrobe depth is 610, the width of the pillar is 415.
Probably there will be a shelf a little over the clothes rod that the clothes rod will hang from, right outside the picture but under the clothes rod a low basket rack will probably stand, and to the far right a basket rack that is a little higher than the shelf will probably stand.
Yes, it's a wardrobe but it only contains a fuse box. The hallway is very narrow and the space where we want the sliding doors is not optimal. The interior will be hangers with hangers hanging outward. The left side has a maximum depth of 520 due to the blue door, and on the right, the depth is 620. I considered placing the sliding doors at an angle, but that would look really weird with a checkered floor.
All tips are gratefully received!

I would probably tear out the entire wardrobe and build a solid wall directly under the vent pipe and let the sliding doors go against that wall.
Inside the solid wall part, you could have shelves, for example, and/or let the clothes rod go in behind the wall section.

There will probably be a shelf a little above the clothes rod where the clothes rod will hang, to the right off-screen, but under the clothes rod, there will probably be a low frame of drawers and further to the right, there will probably be a frame of drawers that's a bit higher than the shelf.
But if it is 620 deep to the right, can't you set up an IKEA-type wardrobe with sliding doors? Then you've solved the problem of hanging doors, shelves, clothes rod, etc.? I'm thinking from the wall to the right and up to the fuse box wardrobe. Then maybe you can put some hooks or knobs on the fuse box to hang things like shoe horns and similar small items on?
Yes, thought about it but then you're met with a wall, unsure if the overall result will be good.

I'm thinking from the wall on the right up to the fuse cabinet wardrobe. Then maybe you can put some hooks or knobs on the fuse cabinet to hang things like shoehorn and similar small items?
