2-door wardrobe 1000 × 2200 × 600: cut list and cutting plan
A simple hanging wardrobe: one hanging rail, a hat shelf above it and two overlay doors, on an 80 mm plinth. 18 mm chipboard or MDF, 3 mm HDF back. All sizes in millimetres.
Cut list
| Part | Length × width, mm | Qty | Edge banding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side | 2200 × 600 | 2 | 1 long |

Not cut from the board: Back panel, HDF 3 mm: 996 × 2116 mm · Hanging rail: 964 mm (cut to fit) · 10 cup hinges, 35 mm, full overlay (5 per door, because the doors are over 2 m tall) · 2 rail end supports · 4 shelf pins · about 16 confirmat screws 7 × 50 · 2 handles
How the sizes are worked out
- The sides run the full height (2200) and stand on the floor; everything else sits between them.
- Top, bottom and plinth = width − 2 × board = 1000 − 36 = 964. The plinth is set back 30 mm from the front.
- The hat shelf is 2 mm narrower (962) so it drops in on pins, and 20 mm shallower (580) so it clears the doors.
- The doors cover the sides completely (overlay) with a 3 mm gap: height 2200 − 80 − 3 = 2117, width (1000 − 6) / 2 = 497.
- The back is nailed onto the back edges, 2 mm in from every side.
Cutting plan on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Laid out by the CutRun calculator with a 3 mm saw kerf and 10 mm trimmed off the factory edges.
73 % of the board ends up in the furniture. The last sheet has a large piece left over — plan extra shelves, a drawer or a second small cabinet into the same order.
Other sizes on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Same construction, worked out by the calculator for other common sizes (width × height × depth, mm):
| Size | Sheets | Board | Edge banding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 800 × 2000 × 600 | 3 | 5.34 m² | 15.5 m |
| 800 × 2200 × 600 | 3 | 5.74 m² | 16.7 m |
| 900 × 2200 × 600 | 3 | 6.14 m² | 17.2 m |
| 1000 × 2000 × 600 | 3 | 6.10 m² | 16.5 m |
| 1000 × 2200 × 600 | 3 | 6.54 m² | 17.7 m |
| 1000 × 2400 × 600 | 3 | 6.97 m² | 18.9 m |
| 1200 × 2400 × 600 | 3 | 7.81 m² | 19.9 m |
1200 × 2400 × 600 is the largest size in this table that still needs only 3 sheets (87 % used).
Assembly order
- Band the edges before assembly: the doors all round, the other parts on the front edge.
- Drill the hinge cups in the doors (35 mm, 22 mm from the edge) and the shelf-pin holes in the sides.
- Screw the bottom and the plinth between the sides, then the top. Check that the diagonals are equal.
- Nail the HDF back on — it squares the carcass.
- Stand it up, fit the shelf and the rail, hang the doors and adjust the hinges for an even 3 mm gap.
Questions
How many sheets do I need for a 2-door wardrobe?
A 1000 × 2200 × 600 mm version in 18 mm board needs 3 sheets of 2440 × 1220 mm: 6.54 m² of board and about 17.7 m of edge banding. The 3 mm HDF back is cut from a separate thin sheet.
How big are the doors of a 1000 mm wide 2-door wardrobe?
With overlay doors, a 3 mm gap and an 80 mm plinth each door is 2117 × 497 mm: the height minus the plinth and the gap, and half of the width minus the gaps.
How many hinges does a 2.1 m wardrobe door need?
Five. As a rule of thumb: two hinges up to 900 mm door height, three up to 1600, four up to 2000 and five up to 2400 mm.
