## Who a double rail suits

A heavy-duty double rail suits you if you resell clothing on Vinted, Depop or eBay, or sell live on Whatnot or TikTok Shop, with 80 to 120 garments to hang. Stock stays uncreased and ready to photograph.

It fits along one wall of a spare bedroom, and two rails cover most part-time clothing shops.

Folded knitwear and denim store fine in tubs, so if that is most of your stock, one rail will do.

## Frame, height and footprint

Choose a steel frame with a stated load and lockable wheels. Budget rails bow under winter coats.

Adjustable height helps: a raised top bar fits long dresses, a lowered one fits shirts.

A lower shelf holds boxed shoes or folded items.

Measure the space under your ceiling and along the wall before ordering. A double rail with both bars raised can stand taller than a sloped loft ceiling, and the footprint needs room for you to flick through hangers from the front.

## Hanger codes and photo order

Number each hanger position and log the number in the listing. A code like R1-23 takes you to the garment in seconds.

Matching slim hangers keep garments at even spacing.

Hang garments waiting for photos at one end and listed stock after them, so you can see what still needs work.

## Tubs, shelving and hanger tracking

Clear stackable 32 L tubs, 4 pack suit folded stock that does not crease.

5-tier steel shelving, 180 cm holds boxed shoes, bags and packing supplies beside the rail.

Sortly tracks garments by hanger number for larger rails.

## Wheels, sunlight and loose joints

Lock the wheels when the rail is full, because a loaded rail rolls on a smooth floor.

Keep it out of direct sun, which fades colours on the shoulders of garments.

Tighten the joints every few months; repeated moving loosens them.

## Common mistakes

- Heavy coats bow the bar on an underrated rail. Check the load rating.
- Lock the wheels, or the rail drifts.
- Mixed hanger types waste space; slim matching hangers fit more.
- Direct sun fades stock, so keep the rail out of it.
- Number every hanger position. Without codes, each sale means a hunt.
- Unload some stock before you roll a full rail over carpet edges or door thresholds, which strain the wheels.

## Questions

### How many garments does a double rail hold?

Around 80 to 120, depending on garment weight and hanger type.

### Will it hold winter coats?

Check the load rating and keep heavy coats near the uprights.

### Can I use it for live shows?

Yes. Roll it behind you so buyers see the next pieces.

### Does it need tools to build?

Most need a single hex key, supplied in the box.

### Should I use slim hangers?

Slim hangers fit more garments and keep spacing even.

### Can I hang trousers and skirts on it?

Yes, on clip hangers, which stop them sliding off and take up little width on the bar.
