5ft Rail FAQs
Is 5ft a standard size for both home and retail use?
Yes, 5ft (152cm) is our most popular standard size. It provide substantially more hanging space than a 4ft rail while remaining far easier to maneuver through standard doorways and fit into standard vehicles than a 6ft rail.
What makes the 5ft black heavy duty rail your best-seller?
Our 5ft black clothes rail is a bestseller because it offers a 160kg weight capacity and a durable epoxy coating at an affordable price point. Its width is ideal for replacing a standard wardrobe, making it a favorite for "open wardrobe" bedroom designs.
Will a dismantled 5ft clothes rail fit into a standard car boot?
Generally, yes. The longest component is the 5ft bar. This fits into the majority of estate cars, SUVs, and large hatchbacks with the seats folded down, making it the top choice for market traders and exhibitors.
Can I convert this rail into a two-tier storage system later?
Yes. Our industrial rails are modular. You can purchase a 5ft centre bar extension kit separately at any time to add a second tier, instantly doubling your hanging space for shorter garments like shirts or jackets.
How do your manufactured rails compare to domestic IKEA alternatives?
Domestic models like an IKEA clothes rail are designed for light use. Our 5ft rails are manufactured from 32mm industrial grade steel and are SATRA tested to hold 160kg, providing professional stability that won't bow or collapse over time.
