Sparse with 21x70 instead of 28x70?

[nybyggarn3]

That could also be the case..

I think it’ll be done like this.
I will space with 21 instead according to justus's answer.
Then hope it works. Otherwise cut off 1cm from the base as a last resort.

Would you have removed the plastic mat I have at the bottom today?
It's glued onto chipboard... it feels like it could tear off pieces of the chipboard and just create more work?
Is it a lot of work for just gaining 3mm?

As mentioned, no problem taking 10 mm off the base.

I've understood that it should be quite simple, but what happens with the threaded legs you adjust with?

That was a good question. It has been quite a few years. I wonder if the legs are threaded in the bottom?

seems to match according to the manual. But you could cut the thread if needed, though then you lose the ability to adjust as it seems to be like a star head.

I have a vague memory of shimming wardrobes, but I'm not sure. Feels like a problem you solve if it becomes relevant.

 

[amoreex]

Simply have to do it that way!
Simply have to move on.
The next step is to try switching to 21mm and hope to avoid cutting!

I will update here!

The wardrobes are also available in 2m height.

Yes, I know. But that's not an option, as it's too ugly to have 35cm left to the ceiling..

If you're not going to run electrical wiring, you could put plywood on the ceiling instead.

But as someone mentioned, you can cut off the bottom, it's not unusual to do so. I have the same ones in the closet but without doors. The most important thing is that the doors can open.

I've also assembled them standing up, it works well if there are 2 of you.

Are you going to install battens with adjustment screws so that the ceiling becomes straight, or is it already straight? The existing ceiling is slightly crooked, and in that case, the entire ceiling needs to be adjusted to the lowest point.

Or you don't worry about it, and it will probably turn out great anyway.

If you have already purchased 28x70 and have a router, you can mill out 5mm from the spacing for the trusses. Justus probably has the answer on how it will affect.

no electricity will be run at the moment. But I still want it to be open so the possibility exists.
But plywood will cost around 1300kr...
So it might be an option if Justus thinks it's sufficient and doesn't become even heavier.

In that case, the ceiling height will be significantly better with 238...

Or you just don't care, and it will probably be great too

I will measure the ceiling in a couple of places so I know for sure.

If you have already bought 28x70 and have a hand router, you can rout out 5mm from the spaced structure for the trusses. Justus probably has the answer on how it affects.

That could be an option, as I bought a router 2 weeks ago.
However, there will be a little tension on the plastic, but it should work..

then you can rout away 7mm.. so it's the same as a 21mm.

 

[Anonymiserad 284245]

unfortunately can't screw into those studs anyway. If I don't want visible screws..

In that case, you can mount across the battens, then it will work fine.
