Can Rack

Our can rack in the pantry doesn't work well at all.They are constantly getting stuck and won't roll down like they are supposed to.Am thinking of taking this out and putting a sliding drawer or something in it's place. Anyone done this?? Where did you get it, etc. Thanks Dave

Look up shelves that slide. They have web site and will custom make things for you at a reasonable price.

Since the "can rack" is designed for labels to be "not viewable", more than likely it was planned for canned drinks only. Canned drinks are all the same size, and thus are not as likely to jam up. The side-to-side spacing of the "down ramps" of the can rack are consistent dimensionally for canned drinks.

All of those "diet drinks" waiting to go into the fridge have to be somewhere! So, the can rack is probably as good a place as any for them!!

We had cans of coke in ours. On our last move from MI to TN, one of the cans broke open. It got over everything below it. Took me an hour or more to clean it all up

I've since taken all the cans out and will never put any more up there. It's now holding my bottles of water. They don't fit real well, but at least I don't have to worry about cleaning up a mess.

Yes, that might happen, but that is not a fault of the can rack. The drink mfgrs. have now spec'd the design of their cans to be so thin (less aluminum), we fairly often have a can spewing in the carton, often with hardly a bump. Nowadays, you sure don't want to drop a can on the floor, for it will almost certainly burst with a spew!

Yes, I would agree! Wouldn't want to have to clean up the cabinet from an exploded drink. Probably a good fix for this section of cabinet would be to remove the entire top sloping shelf, and to modify the lower sloping shelf section to "flat". That would provide another pretty good storage space for "whatever" - paper towels, breakfast cereals, bottled water, odd size pans or bowls, etc.

Thanks Robert! That's actually a great idea. I'm going to have the DH help me get the top shelf out of there. It would make a great place to put taller items like paper towels and cereal boxes.

We took ours out within a couple months of moving in. I'm posting a picture of the fix. The fit is tight,but works grate. It is mounted on a slide screwed to the shelf. At the time it was a off the shelf item at Home Depot.
