Build a DIY Slide Out Pantry

My daughter and her husband quickly got to work buying the 1" x 6" wood, dowels, and castors needed for the project.
They used wood screws to build a box then attach shelves from one end to the other.
They used wood glue and small nails to attach a thin piece of plywood to the back of the box.
On the bottom they added castors so the piece would roll in and out.
It is important to use castors that don't rotate in every direction.

Lastly, they added wooden dowels about an inch or 2 above the shelves to hold in the dry goods.
This can be done with small nails from the outside or a nail gun.
I'm thinking this would make great craft storage too!

Susan it's proof the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I hope someday I can post things like this of my kids, even now my oldest at 8 tries to replicate projects and pictures. They truly pick up on everything we do as parents (good & bad!) so you taught her well.
ReplyDeleteI was able to do this with a tall bookcase that was on sale for only $30. Reinforced the back etc., but it made a great pull-out pantry. This one looks great, too!
