Made a can rotator

[hanau]

Been needing some can rotators since I am finding old cans in the cabinets. Figure this would help keep everything rotated.

It holds 9 cans plan on making some more and making them a little deeper to hold 12 cans and will make some wider to hold the bigger cans.

Forgive me...but i have to laugh... sometimes the simple things in life make the most sense!!

Well done....You just know im going to copy that!

it is 9 x 14 it will hold 9 cans.

I think if I extend it out to 18 I might get 12 cans in there.

I been stocking up on can foods lately when I find them on sale.

I been finding name brand can veggies for .50-.70 a can so picking up a flat is less than $10

i also pick up flats of chili tomatoes , beans and mixed vegetables for .60 a can.
They taste good but usually get mixed with other foods so I am not as picky as I am with peas corn and green beans.

Put it in your fridge and a fresh cold beer is always at the front. :tongue:

Hey this is a great idea. I haven't seen one of these in years. Nice...

I went back and made them 18" deep and now it will hold 12 cans each.

next going have to make some wider.

Built probably eight total from 1 sheet of plywood.

These would be great in the pantry as well. I don't typically put canned goods in the fridge. Any thought on using thinner ply? 1/4" maybe?

The little fridge in our garage has a can rack in the door just for this purpose

thought about it but decide to go with what i thought was 1/2 but ended up with 5/8th.

Figured would of hold up longer than the 1/4

These are for the pantry not for the fridge, beer doesn't last long enough to need to be rotated.
