Closet rod height depends on various factors.
The proper height for closet rods and shelves depends on various factors. The height of the shelves is determined by what they will contain, such as shoes or items for storage. Does this Spark an idea?
Rod Height
For double hanging closet rods, the recommended height for the upper rod is 80 1/4 inches; for the lower rod, it is 39 1/4 inches. For a single rod, between 60 inches and 72 inches is the norm. For a child's closet, the height should be around 48 inches. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires a maximum rod height of 48 inches to the centerline of the closet.
Shelves
A standard depth for a closet shelf is 14 inches. The standard height for a single rod and shelf combo is 68 inches from the floor. For a shelf separate from the rod, place it at a height of 70 inches above the floor. For double or short hanging space, install the shelves at heights of 84 inches and 42 inches from the floor.
Length
The length of the closet rod and shelves depends on the configuration used, as rods can be hung at two different heights to allow for shorter clothes. Shoe shelves come in standard lengths of 17 7/8 inches, 23 7/8 inches and 29 7/8 inches, with eight to nine shelves per rack.
