Ikea Pax wardrobe - attaching side panels

Hello,

thanks for the tips!

I will do it as Stefan suggested. Thin back panel wood is completely sufficient as a cover.

However, I cannot know yet which holes will be drilled through the Korpen. That is still a certain problem: I only want to start with the interior fittings once the Korpen are firmly and finally installed. But I can only do that if I know which holes are drilled for the connections. Or is it perhaps the case that connections, doors, and interior fittings don’t interfere with each other anyway? There are three rows of holes in the Korpen.

Then you should really proceed exactly as Stefan described and not just screw the hardboard to a batten on one side.
Attach the mounting plates of the hinges after you have assembled the carcasses. Then you will know where no drawer runner can go. If you use a basket, it can also be located where a hinge is. (Basket runners above the hinge.)
You can basically place the carcass connectors anywhere at the front; as long as it makes sense.

Hello,

maybe this is also interesting for others to know:

I looked at all the doors at Ikea and noticed that the holes used are different!

Some doors use the very top/bottom holes, others do not use the top/bottom hole. So you are on the safe side if you do not use the top/bottom 3 holes for the connecting screws.
