DIY Slide/Pull-Out Pantry to Maximum Storage Efficiency for Small Kitchen


Step 1: Materials

The necessary materials that I used for this project are listed below, but you can easily vary the measurements.



  •    24" x 48" x 0.75" Wood board
  •     5" x 8' x 0.5" Wood boards
  •     24" x 4" x 0.5"  (6)  Wood boards
  •    24" x 4" x 0.75" Wood board for the base
  •     Handle with attaching hardware
  •     (2 Caster wheels
  •    25" x 0.25"  (6) Wooden dowels
  •     Wood glue
  •     Wood screws

Step 2: Framing the Pantry

 

Cut the big 5" x 8' x 0.5" board in half creating two equal 4 foot pieces. These two 4 foot pieces are the sides of the pantry, but they were too wide so it would not fit in the small gap. I had to cut them down to be 4 inches.



  • For the bottom shelf, use the 24" x 4" x 0.75" piece
  • For the top shelf, use one of the 24" x 4" x 0.5" pieces

Now that all of the wood for the pantry is cut, time to glue and join them with screws, which is pretty self explanatory.


Step 3: Shelving

 

With the remaining five 24" x 4" x 0.5" wood pieces, I spaced them out roughly like this:

(from top to bottom)


  • 4.5"
  • 6.5"
  • 6.5"
  • 7.5"
  • 9.25"
  • 11.25"

Then drill the holes for the wood dowels to slide through for each shelf, and cut the wood dowels to 25.5".
The space between the shelf and dowels depends on the content you plan on storing.





Step 4: The Finishing Touches


Let's start with adding the wheels first:


  •     locate the center of the bottom board and space the wheels out evenly on the board.
  •     since I didn't want the bolts for the wheels to show through the board, I used hot glue to apply the wheels to the board.

Now it's just the handle that is standing between you and your new sliding pantry:

  •     stand the pantry up on the wheels and determine where the handle should be based on your preference/height,
  •     once you have the height you want, locate the center of the side panel and drill 2 holes that align with the handle.
  •     use the attaching hardware and attach the handle
