Good work. I’ve built one of these upright before and you are spot on with the issues. Will be building another one upright in the next couple of weeks, your video has helped enormously…hopefully.
If it not fit even with building wardrobe upright here is another option it is bit extreme and it should be done by someone who understand.... how to do it ruclips.net/video/ehWybREbdF4/видео.html
Hmmmm. Don’t think so. The tolerance is narrow, a screw would be more likely to bust out of the panel into the wardrobe interior. The nails are easy to pop and then refix should you need to do that in a future move.
The very downside of upright building is having less accuracy in nailing the back panel, which easily turns into a crooked frame and realizing it only when doors show hopeless different heights, or sliding doors close askew. Using some building tape (or a stapler) temporarily to fix the panel before nailing it, may avoid this. Moreover, if you trace the half measure on both the frame and the panel (top and bottom) then you can match them, and have equal gaps both sides by definition. Good job. -- Ps read the safety concerned comment below
Hello! what is the minimum ceiling height for the PAX wardrobe that is 236cm high? or how much clearance do I need at the top to build the wardrobe upright?
building this upright yourself is suicide. Not only is experience required, you also need insanely strong arms and excellent balance to hold the top panel in place. Get someone to help. You'll snap all the wooden pegs if you don't hold it perfectly in place without movement. holding something heavy at 2.4 meters up a ladder is no joke. Maybe you'll get lucky but I wouldn't risk it.
I agree keeping the top element in place WHILE picking the shoulder element from somewhere around is the most UNSAFE way. Side elements will stand enough balanced on their own, after being screwed at the base. Then only have to lay down the top element onto the top screws and join -- which is not so risky as it sounds. The very risky phase is when joining the side panel at the bottom, as you may be too focused on matching the bottom screws than managing the panel which is slightly tipping off. I found another PP's video where he builds the safe way, so I don't understand why going on with this stunt.

You just helped me out with my giant pax build. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for watching
Thanks bro, will use your vid rather than Ikeas hyroglyphics. Room is 340 high, and the flooring needs to go down!! it's gonna be tight :)

Nice video! I would recommend screwing in the back panel in case you ever want to disassemble the unit. :)

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. How long does this usually take to build, if you build it alone? Thank you
One Pax frame to build upright around 40min. Thank you for watching.
What's the purpose of the slim panel?
Supporting the bottom panel and the front one covering the hole under the bottom panel.
@@PPFlatPack so the slim panel prevents anything from going underneath the bottom panel?
@@gorgeousprincess332 Yeah that two to mush dust will accumulate there
Hello! what is the minimum ceiling height for the PAX wardrobe that is 236cm high? or how much clearance do I need at the top to build the wardrobe upright?
I have heard a minimum of 244 cm
My wall is 237cm is that ok?
I'm in the same boat - cant find any answers to this anywhere
My wall is 240cm and my wardrobe still hit the ceiling when I tried to bring it up from the ground. Defo assemble it upright

Well pointed
