This was OUTSTANDING. We have no pantry in our kitchen, but we may try to do this in our garage as it's just a few steps away from our kitchen. Or, maybe on a wall in sunroom that adjoins the kitchen. A very light weight decorative fabric cover could go over the front to cover the cans if it were put in a sunroom or garage. Thanks for this excellent video. You made it look so easy.

@ Michelle Duncan: Just be cautious of the sunroom. If the sunroom is north or west facing, how hot is it going to get in summer? The summer heat may do damage to the food inside the cans. Direct sunlight is one issue, but the ambient heat is a secondary issue that is harder to mitigate.

Great for people with little room. I had one like that in my home fifty years ago. Now for today I keep more food on a steel roll around shelving unit. It holds several hundred cans per shelf and has five shelves, so maybe 800 or more cans. Plus you can roll them around for cleaning. I put cans in from the back side and use them from the front.

@@111jacare I see. I've had that issue with some cans being slightly too large. I recommend building it for the largest cans you expect to hold, and it will still work for the smaller cans.

Just use 1x4s? Or what for the dividers? That's my main concern. Plus I have to have 1 row that'll fit the larger cans of Rotel. So it adds extra CRAP to this fairly simple design. Think it'd work without the 45degree angles behind the bottom can?

@BobsWoodStuff

3 жыл бұрын

For the dividers, the important thing is to make sure it is wide enough to fit the cans. So I would measure the diameter of the top of the largest can you want to hold, and make the dividers about 1/8" wider than that.

When you mix cans on one row you have to take out the cans to get to the one you need.

I would add a little more space on each end of the cans (make each column slightly wider). After painting it the fit of the cans was a little tighter than I liked. And I would sample more cans and use the widest to set the height of the spacers. Some cans are a tiny bit larger than others.

Would I be able to attach this to a door? Or would it be to heavy?

I think it would be too heavy, unless you had some extra beefy hinges and put long screws all the way into the studs.
