FIFO can racks for the pantry

Barb LeeContributor - June 25, 2022

I took a chance on these little racks I found on Amazon, bought two, and quickly decided to outfit the whole shelf with them.  They are literally shoe-horned into the shelf, but they fit, wall to wall.  I’ll never go back to boxes for regular size cans again.  I will be gradually adding more.

Very nice! I love the tie down straps as well for earthquake protection is it?

Do you mind sharing an Amazon link for these racks you are using?

 

Yes, earthquake protection.  I don’t think the tiedown straps would work well with “loose” cans like this, but for boxes, buckets and tubs, I think they’re great.  They can be adjusted to be very tight.

For the can racks, I think a 1×4 as a “lip” across the front of the shelf may be better at holding back a “flood” of cans…or maybe a 1×4 and a strap.  It’s always something.

Here the link to the racks.  They don’t look like much but they shouldn’t take much of a beating.  Also, they are built to stack.

 

The two units that I have, are self standing. They have a 2 ‘x2’ foot print each, I like the concept, the ones I have are a little tricky to use, but they do work.

 

I’ve looked at those too. I keep threatening to build racks out of scrap lumber but the honeydos don’t seem to ever get doed, LOL

 

We can’t keep up with routine maintenance around this place, much less take on new projects!  LOL!  I’m sure there’s a better product out there somewhere, but darned if I could find it.

 

I know that feeling.
