here is a link to the brackets that I found. They look like they come in diefferent sizes. there are a lot of brackets out there though and I havent done a whole lot of research on this part yet. These brackets are very affordable though and made by the same company as the pegs.

Before I rummage through all of these pages by any chance has anyone ordered any acrylic pieces (for the sliding doors) for the following PAX frame size?

Width: 58 7/8 "
Depth: 22 7/8 "
Height: 93 1/8 "

Unfortunately space has now become an issue for me and the pax/sliding door/acrylic inserts seems to be the best display solution (for me).

I think those r the ones i got. tall to the ceiling but not as wide as the widest pax, right?

 

[izeroi]

Yup I believe that's correct. Did you happen to buy the acrylic inserts for them and If so do you have the H and W?

Height - 90 3/4"
Width - 29 11/16"

Here you go. posted on page 85 how i got these numbers, i'd just recommend double checking to see if its gonna work for u. Fit like a glove for me, but it also depends on how accurate your glass guys are.

 

[izeroi]

Thanks man! Not sure how I missed your post

Great setup by the way. Looks very professional.

Anyway, ya I'll be sure to do some double checking on the measurements once I pick up the pax/doors from Ikea next weekend. Luckily I have a professional plastics location right next to my home.

My wife and I already have a pax/sliding combo in our bedroom and after taking some measurements I didn't realize the total depth with doors is like 26"-27".

 

[FriendlySamurai]

thanks, yeah these things are massive. Was just at Ikea in Vegas and picked up a few detolfs to clear the 1:6 out of my pax.

On a side note, those fake windows they use as displays are awesome. I guess they're built in-house somebody said? sux.

Going to be getting the 78x79x22 and customising the depth. To damn deep for my space that I have. I am going to custom cut them to 19 inches deep. Add the black track and with custom cut acrylic doors. Can't wait to start this project.

Would it make sense to go with a different model if you don't need the depth? Like the Billy? For me the depth was the main benefit of the Pax.

I looked at the billy and the 13inch pax, but I need something around 17-18 inches deep. If I start going into the 20+ then I start wasting to much space. I also love how the pax sliding doors look with acrylic. I want something that will look nice so making a custom myself is out of the picture, lol.

It seems like cutting down all the pieces to make it less deep would be a bit difficult, but I wish you the best of luck. Please share your progress. [emoji4]

Will add pics soon, I ended up just moving stuff around to fit the big pax unit.

 

[Toefur]

So I built a double PAX setup with the sliding doors, but need to get the custom cut acrylic to go in them now. Does anyone have a good online retailer that they can recommend, or someone local in the Northern Virginia area?

Very very nice CASC! Great job and thanks for sharing all the details.

I like the idea of using the clothes rails underneath the shelves to give some extra support.

 

[Shaughn]

Great Video Cheap ass. Using the clothes rails was genius. I didn't pick up on that the first time I watched the video. I was wondering how I could get extra support without having to order something custom.

PS love your commentary on Lou's chat each week.

Much appreciated. Yeah, the extra support from the clothes rails was a must. They were a pain to install as well. If you can get help from a friend, I highly recommend it.
