Can good shelf life?
Most shelf-stable foods are safe indefinitely. In fact, canned goods will last for years, as long as the can itself is in good condition (no rust, dents, or swelling). Packaged foods (cereal, pasta, cookies) will be safe past the 'best by' date, although they may eventually become stale or develop an off flavor.

So you can adjust the height depending on what should be. Stored.
Step 1: My Design
I decided to pare the design down to the very basics. Most racks use a series of slanted shelves that allow cans be loaded into the top and then roll down to the point where they get selected for use.
Step 2: Materials I Used
I did some measurements and discovered that my pantry shelves were 12” deep and 12” high. I had picked up a broken bookshelf to salvage for the wood, and luckily it was 12” deep! I found two scraps of 1” X 4” about 18” long each ( Not a critical length... you just need enough material to cut two pieces the height of your shelf).
Step 3: Build the Slanted Shelf
I measured the width of the pantry shelf space that I wanted to use. It was 34” wide. Yours may be different. I cut a piece of the 12” wide bookshelf to 34” minus the width of the two 1X4’s making it 32 ½” wide.
Step 4: Add the Uprights and Crossbars
I then took the 1X4’s and marked their length to the exact height of my pantry shelf (the distance between the top of one shelf to the bottom of the next shelf up). I attached these boards as uprights to the sides of the slanted board, flush with the front of the shelf but vertical. See the pics to understand how they are oriented.
Step 5: Test Fit and Load!
Now slide your new can organizer into your pantry shelf and check it for fit. Load it with the size cans you intend to use and when you are satisfied, take it out and give it a good paint job and add can-identifying tags if you desire. Total time for assembly: 30 minutes, total cost: only a few bucks. Works great.
Description
Storing cans of food has never been easier! This very efficient can storage unit makes rotating your food storage automatic – and you can customize it to meet your needs. The size is up to you. And, it stores a lot of food without taking a bunch of space. Ideal for easy access to the cans you need.
More About The Design Features
Storage unit as shown is approx. 7 ft. high, 14 inches wide, and 7 ft. long. It fits against a spare wall of a room so it doesn’t take much space. The height and length are easy to modify if you want. If that’s too wide, build it in a one shelf width instead. The design makes it easy to modify and better accommodate your individual needs.

Plans from Mechanical Elements are an awesome start to a great project. And, these suggestions too.
We Found These For You . .
Our smallest ATV and off road vehicle specific trailer plans. Great for taking 2 ATV’s out, yet small enough for towing without a big truck. The size also makes for easier storage between the fun trips.
Step 1: List of Materials
Here is your list of materials: Corrugated Cardboard Box ( 48 x 36 ) Ruler (preferably metal) Measuring Tape Scissors Exacto Knife Pizza cutter Pencil (or pen) Carpenter’s Square Glue (either a hot glue gun or paper glue) or Duct Tape I used a Large Mirror-pack from a recent move and it had enough cardboard to make three can-organizers.
Step 2: Understanding the Basics...i.e. Algebra
In order for this project to be effective the cans must ride down the Second Level shelf to the Lower Level shelf. Both of these shelves are at opposing angles to each other. These angles are predetermined by you, with consideration paid to the amount of space available.
Step 3: Lay Out the Grid
Once you have the cardboard on a flat work surface its time to lay out your grid and find your Y- and X- axis. Take note of the grain of your corrugated cardboard. Try to have the grains running the length of your ramps instead of across them. This will add some strength to the areas that get the most wear. 1.
Step 4: Draw Out the Plan
Now we can begin drawing out the sub-structure. 1.The Lower Level shelf will use the Y-axis as a reference line. From the Y-axis, measure out your value for W and draw a line. Draw a line that connects the Y-axis line to the line you just drew at the value of W. This should make a rectangle as in point (4). 2.
Step 5: Cut Out the Sub-structure
Now that the hard part is over its time to start making the cuts. Cutting out the sub-structures is a relatively simple process. I used an exacto knife against a straight metal edge to make nearly all of my cuts.
Step 6: Fold the Creases
Now that you have cut out the sub-structures its time to fold the creases. Form a crease where you need to bend the box’s tabs. Use a straight edge ruler or like device and a pizza cutter.
Step 7: Assemble the Second Level Shelf
As you begin the assembly process, start with the Second Level shelf. 1. Take the Second Level shelf cut out and draw the tabs. My shelf was 10" long so I divided it into sections at 1", 2", 2",.2", 1", 1" & 1". The next three 1" sections are for a ramp stop that when assembled will form a triangular shape the cans cannot roll over. 2.
