suitable method of creating clothes rail on wall

Could you hang it from ceiling? Baz

Two of these and a bit of ingenuity. ;-)

I am hanging from the ceiling aswell, this one needs to be fixed the next level down halfway down the wall

Don't think in terms of how you'd erect a hanging rail; just put up an ordinary shelf instead (or maybe that's equally difficult?). Put up the shelf, then simply attach a hanging rail to it's underside, as in a wardrobe.

This also gets you a Useful Shelf to put Stuff on, and it will also dissuade dust and muck from settling on your shirts.

Apart from other suggestions, why not buy a ready-made wall mounted retractable clothes airer/dryer? Leifheit used to do good ones.

================ Make two wooden gallows brackets of suitable size. Drill a hole (18mm for standard wardrobe rail or 22mm for copper plumbing pipe) in the end of each horizontal arm. Fix the two brackets to the wall and slide the rail into the holes.

The message from "Neil" contains these words:

What you need's a mate with a welder and some angleiron.

You can use regular shelf brackets with a piece of 2x2 timber attached, and attach rail sockets to the timber. Or fit shelves to the wall brackets and screw rail hangers to the bottom of the shelves.

Can you not hang from the one hanging from the ceiling?
