Orange dashed lines are saw lines, measured from the top-left corner of the sheet. Saw on the waste side of each line (the blade removes the kerf set under sheet options), so every piece keeps its full size.

Prints the drawing, the cut list and the sheet layouts (with saw lines). Choose "Save as PDF" in the print window to keep a copy.

How it works

  1. Enter the outside size of your wardrobe, bookcase or shelving unit, and the thickness of the board you are buying.
  2. Add shelves, dividers and a hanging rail. Tap a space and add, or drag boards where you want them. Everything is sized to fit between the boards it meets.
  3. Add doors and a back panel if you want them. Each carcass can have its own, and you can line several up side by side to cover a whole wall.
  4. Read off the cut list. Every piece has a letter, a length and a width. Turn on the labels to see the same letters on the drawing.
  5. See how many sheets you need. The sheet layout shows where to saw, allows for the width of the blade, and gives the measurements to mark.

Questions

How many sheets of MDF do I need for a wardrobe?

It depends on the size and how many shelves and doors you add. Enter your measurements above and the planner packs every piece onto standard sheets (2440 × 1220 mm by default) and tells you how many to buy.

Does it allow for the saw blade?

Yes. The blade removes a strip of board with every cut (3 mm by default), so pieces are spaced out on the sheet to leave room for it. You can change this under sheet options.

Can I use plywood or chipboard?

Yes. The sizes only depend on the thickness you enter, so it works for MDF, plywood, chipboard or solid timber panels.

Do the shelves fit between the sides?

Yes. Sides run the full height, the top and bottom fit between them, and shelves and dividers fit between the boards they touch, so the cut sizes already allow for board thickness.

Is it free? Do you store my designs?

It is free. Your measurements stay in your browser and are not sent anywhere or saved. See the privacy page.

The planner gives sizes for guidance. Always check measurements against your own room and boards before cutting.
