I had a rod placed above the dryer to hang empty hangers. Makes it handy to put clothes on after drying. I bought a portable hanger to transfer the clothes onto. I also have a soaking sink. Tip if you do do not get a stainless steel if you like to soak bleach loads. It only took about 6 months for the bleach to eat holes and make rust. The manufacture stated it was not meant for that so no help there. Also had a shelf above the dryer rod to put cleaning products on.
