You can use normal cloth hangers to hand clothes on the PVC pipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re finished with the sale, the whole thing comes apart again easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Simple_Rope_Will_Also_Work\"><\/span>8. Simple Rope Will Also Work&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to mess with PVC pipe, you can also make a clothes-hanging system with a simple rope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply tie the rope into the rafters of your garage. Use clothespins to hang sections of clothing from the rope lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is perfect for organizing categories like women&#8217;s, men&#8217;s, children&#8217;s, etc. As a bonus, customers can see everything unobstructed and it&#8217;s up off the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For portable rope racks, you can also hammer eye hooks into trees or posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Furniture &amp; Household Items Can Double as Displays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If DIY and building stuff isn&#8217;t your thing, reuse furniture you already have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Small_Patio_Tables\"><\/span>9. &nbsp;Small Patio Tables&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have those tiny aluminum outdoor tables, they&#8217;re perfect for displaying more valuable items like jewelry, small electronics, or collectibles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller surface forces you to minimize clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Shallow_Bookshelves\"><\/span>10. Shallow Bookshelves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookshelves, hutches and open cabinets are also yard sale all-stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use them to neatly line up ceramic figurines, vases, candles, baskets, craft supplies &#8211; anything you want to keep organized and upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having items on secure shelving prevents things from toppling over. And customers feel more comfortable browsing without worrying about breaking merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Benches_or_Seating\"><\/span>11. Benches or Seating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t overlook seating like chairs, benches, stools or ottomans. These are amazing for instantly showing off things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Folded clothing piles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shoe and bag collections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hats, belts and scarves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Craft supplies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet toys and supplies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply arrange items neatly together on chair and bench seats. For a pretty presentation, try draping scarves over chair backs or laying decorative throws across ottomans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Changing_Table_Dressers\"><\/span>12.

Place vases, throw pillows and framed art on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use open drawers to display neatly folded dish towels, placemats, candles and kitchen prep utensils. Dressers give you plenty of tiered space to separate and show off your home goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Take Advantage of Your Property<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The areas around your home can also be put to use!

Hang items like bikes, weed wackers and netting from trailer hitches and hooks. Get creative mixing upright and hanging items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Clotheslines_Across_the_Lawn_Create_Hanging_Sections\"><\/span>14. Clotheslines Across the Lawn Create Hanging Sections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want your yard sale to be noticeable from the street? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>String up a clothesline between trees or posts in your front yard. Use clothespins to hang your best clothing items and categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also decorate the lines with colorful streamers, ribbons, flags or balloons to make it eye-catching. Having visually appealing rows of clothes blowing in the breeze will draw more people&#8217;s attention than just laying things on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Lawn_Driveway_for_Heavy_Furniture\"><\/span>16. Lawn &amp; Driveway for Heavy Furniture&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Need room to spread out larger furnishings, tools and equipment? Use your lawn or driveway open space to arrange bigger goods you&#8217;re selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laying out items on the grass or pavement lets shoppers walk around easily. And passersby can see full-size items better rather than stuff crammed on crowded tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just avoid blocking foot traffic, parking areas or the street. Safety first! Also, prop furniture up on wood blocks if placed directly on damp ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Create_Floors_Displays_with_Blankets\"><\/span>17.

This keeps things clean and adds a nice visual backdrop. If a storm pops up, tarps help protect your goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rugs<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Set up rug &#8220;zones&#8221; for categories like shoes, handbags, clothing, etc. Contain the items to keep it looking tidy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beach towels<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Unfold beach towels on the grass or gravel driveway to display toys, jewelry, and other smalls.
