Step 1: Preparation work
Before you start cutting and screwing, you should choose the right wall area in the hallway. Important in this phase of the process is to measure the thickness of the wall, because there is a possibility to appear the purchased dowels and screws at the back of the wall. This result will certainly not bring you any pleasure. If you know the right thickness of the wall, you can buy the matching dowels and screws from the hardware store.
Step 2: Mark cutting area
Start with the first chair. Mark the cut edges with the help of the pencil and the measuring line on the seat surface of the chair. Make sure that the depth of the new wardrobe on the wall is not too big or too small. It is important that the remains of the seat are big enough to be used as a shelf for your accessories and bags.
Step 3: Cutting
Divide the chair with the cordless saw according to the marking. To make a precise cut, place the saw on one of the outer edges and saw through. Our recommendation is that you ask a friend for help. Group work is always funnier than being alone.
Step 4: Smoothing
Now the cut looks very rough. Either with the help of the sanding paper or with the sanding roller, the cut is smoothed.
Step 5: Attachment
So, now you can fix the slat with the help of screws and dowels to the wall. Then place the chair on the fixed batten and fasten it to the wooden panels using the screws so that the chair hangs stably against the wall.
