You&#8217;ll need<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>One <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ca\/en\/catalog\/products\/50248541\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sniglar cot<\/a> set \u2013 currently on sale $84.00<\/li>\n<li>Two small press hinges<\/li>\n<li>Four screw hooks<\/li>\n<li>2 metre curtain cord<\/li>\n<li>A saw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Do it.<\/h3>\n<p>First, start by taking both ends of the Sniglar cot and cutting off the legs of them so that they both resemble a square.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need a small wood saw for this, and you\u2019ll need to not kill yourself, so be careful with this step!<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, on one of the ends, cut off the sides (the sections you just cute to size).<\/p>\n<p>Third, attach one piece to the intact Sniglar cot end piece using the hinges, then attach three of the screw hooks to the other piece; one at both ends and one in the centre.<\/p>\n<p>Then, attach the rig to the wall using the wall anchor screw fixings.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, tie the cord to the first hook of the rig and loop it through all the rest so that it hangs to the side of the frame, and enjoy being able to dry clothes anytime you want!<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeahackers.net\/2016\/06\/singular-baby-cot-retractable-drying-rack.html\" target=\"_blank\">IKEA hackers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the troubles with living in an apartment (especially in a huge city like &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2446,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy-life-hacks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: Use a baby cot as a space-saving clothes drying rack<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-use-a-baby-cot-as-a-space-saving-clothes-drying-rack\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-use-a-baby-cot-as-a-space-saving-clothes-drying-rack#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-use-a-baby-cot-as-a-space-saving-clothes-drying-rack\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"headline\":\"Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: Use a baby cot as a space-saving clothes drying rack\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-09-08T17:40:31+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-use-a-baby-cot-as-a-space-saving-clothes-drying-rack\"},\"wordCount\":307,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-use-a-baby-cot-as-a-space-saving-clothes-drying-rack#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ikea-hack-drying-rack.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"DIY &amp;
