Exciting New Shelving Solution!

Posted on January 11th, 2010 by Jodi and Julie

It seems like organization and rotation seems to be at the top of many people’s lists of things they want to work on with their food storage this year. On our BabyStep One page we have a diagram and instructions for how to make your own can rotating rack.

While the do-it-yourself solution has worked great for some people, there are others (*ahem* Julie *ahem*) who don’t have the patience (or willing husbands) to make the shelves on their own.

One of our readers referred us to a new product called the CanOrganizer which is basically an easy and cheap way to make these shelves on your own. We immediately contacted the company and got some of their products to try. We were so impressed with them that we decided to become affiliates and offer them on our website for those of you who like to do things the EASY way.

We know you will love these shelves as much as we do. The CanOrganizers are going to be playing a large role in our Food Storage Makeover project so stay tuned for more excitement and pictures of the shelves in action!

    These are perfect for my narrow cupboards. My homemade racks got destroyed in a fire so these will work great for now (I don't have time to make new ones as we are still doing repairs). What I really like is that it looks like when I do get the metal ones I want made, I can easily move these card board ones to a closet or under a table/bed for additional storage.
    It looks like a couple of these pantry sized ones will tuck back in to one of the blind corner cupboards great!

    Wow - the shipping is high! Ten dollars - it was like an extra dollar to order more however, I don't need that many and I have no one to split an order with. The shipping is definitely making me think twice in regards of whether I will get them or not.

    Do you happen to know where this company is located?
  • They are in Utah.

    These can shelf things are so great! A little hard to put together at first but by the second one you get it. Bing Bang Bop! and I have a beautiful pantry that rotates all my cans. Don't let the shipping stop you. The more I ordered at one time, the cheaper it got. Get together with a friend and order. I just love them. Thanks for the tip Jodi and Julie. Karen

    I checked into ordering some of these. Even with a 10% discount the shipping charges were an additional 1/3 of the order cost. I'll have to live with what currently works for me.

    I noticed there seemed to be a lot of cardboard being discarded. I would suggest using those discards to make buddy burners. Here's the URL to a YouTube video showing you how to make one:

    I have enjoyed learning about food storage through your site and am excited to see the results of the pantry make over.

    One thing I have question about it is, how to handle extreme temperatures in the car kits/72 hour kits? Here it can get to be 100 degree is in the summer and below freezing in the winter. Won't that damage the kits pretty quickly? Do you have any tips for that?

    Thanks again!

    Growing up my parents built their own shelving unit for cans, not as functional to move around (cause it couldn't be moved!) but it worked just the same. I like these can organizers but I am in Canada and I haven't found another company that makes them here.

    My husband was delivering some product to a business and they were throwing away a shelf that once held the chocolate bars on them. The shelves are slanted and works great for cans too! He took it home and it works great!

    Just thought I would share.
  • I did it! I made one with 2 pop can boxes stacked on top of each other, and 3 pieces of cardboard for durability. :P
  • kathycolmer
    Yay!!! I have Julie's problem too! I am so getting these ASAP! Thanks for the great post!
  • smhuish
    Oh my goodness, I am so glad that you found these! There is a video on how to make them, but even I can't find time to do that, and my hubby did help me make the under bed storage, he just doesn't have time to do much and I am no longer strong enough to do it on my own. I will order some of these this weekend when we get paid! If you want I can let you know how the work.
  • Their phone number has a Utah area code. I think they would work well in my storage area as well as in my pantry. I really like this product.

    WOW! These are amazing! I need some. My husband and I just found your website last week and are excited to start stocking up on our food storage. Any chance this company will let you do a giveaway for a few of their products? That would be fun. Thanks for all your research and work to help others like me start from scratch.
  • I don't think pop can boxes would last very long and they wouldn't roll down into the bottom particularly well. Does anyone know what state this company is based in?
  • You could probably make your own using 2 pop can boxes stacked on top of each other and cut a hole for the cans to drop down into the bottom box.
  • Love these!!
  • Ya we were so excited about them!
  • I really like the looks of these, and the price, too.
  • these are great !!!!!
