For those of you with IKEA BYGEL rails...
 

If you have several of them hung on the same wall - how far are you spacing them under each other so that you can still get your punches out easily?

I hope that makes sense!

Thanks!

Will measure tonight when I get home, I have some spaced enough to hang the baskets from them......

Cool!! I also got 2 of the baskets! :)

About 11.5" apart. That gives enough room for a medium deep basket between each one, or a shallow basket and the large SU punches on top of the bar underneath it. A large deep basket just barely fits.

I hope that makes sense! If not look here

If I could redo it, I would add an extra inch so I could put the large deep basket without worrying about whether I'm putting punches on top of the bar or not.

Tori, here's my setup:

The rails are about 8" apart (from top nail to top nail holding the rails). I love it!

Thanks so much for taking the time to measure it! I was playing around with it and figured about 8-8.5 inches for just the bars! I love your set up!

I appreciate everyone taking to the time to measure, etc! The gals on SCS are so helpful! :)

Mine are at 8" too - and I have some big marvy punches on them and they fit just fine :-)

ok, i'm hi-jacking this thread :) but it's related....

in your older pic, you show 7 large punches on a rail. but in the newer pic, it doesn't even look like 7 would fit. are they the same rails? and which ones [what length] are they?

Bygel rails come in two different lengths, that may be what you are noticing.

Putting the Bygel rails into wood instead of the wall is a cool idea.

Mine are in the wall but are next to each other so depth hasn't been a concern. I have a desk 14 inches below the bottom of the round thing that the screws/nails go into. Hope that makes sense. That means that I have plenty of room to put things on the desk like buckets etc.

I plan on buying more Bygel rods for a different wall and may put them in up down order like you ladies have done.

I actually spaced my differently. The smaller punches don't need a full 8 inches. If you're short on space, keep that in mind. I actually got two more rails in for small & medium punches doing it this way.

Oh sorry that was confusing, wasn't it. Yes 7 large punches will fit (I just checked) I think I just spread them out more now. These are the shorter length rails. I have the longer length on an opposite wall with several buckets hanging that I love to.

LOL i didnt know what you were all talking about at first,that is til i saw your picture :p i have those in my garden shed with hooks to hold my broom ,dust pan and brush etc lol I will now be getting more for the craft room thanx to you xxx jo xxx
