Oh my goodness! Ten years later and I am so awed by your efficient creativity!!! Just wow!!! Thank you for sharing this very important solution that I've been searching for! I love it! Especially since storage space is limited. You're so awesome 👌!!!
I have seen several homemade can rotation systems, this seems the simplest. I like that you made it "portable" with the flap in the front. This would be great for apartment dwellers and renters.
Thanks so much for all your great comments!!! I know it's not the prettiest can rotation box on the shelf, but I have had some of mine for 2 years and we have moved 3 times and it is still in great shape!!!
Putting utility first should always be the goal. Too often I see supposed organization videos where all they did was decorate a mostly empty space. People can decorate it however they want but thanks to you they know how to build it in the first place.
Thanks so much for showing how to build something that works in such a simple way! I am thinking about making one of those, but out of thin wood boards. This really helped me getting a point to start from!
I LOVE this idea! Thanks so much! I have been looking for a really inexpensive way to do something like this to utilize the "UP" space in my pantry using things I already had around the house & Bingo! your video popped up. I'm using multiple smaller & taller boxes based on your design & I think it's going to be great! I may even cover them with some pretty shelf paper. :D
Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial! You commented on the boxes not being "the prettiest". If this bothers someone or if it needs to be left it out where it might be seen, just wrap it in some left over shelf or wall paper for instant glam. Your design is also perfect for "bugging out". Thanks again!
Yes, we do. Every one I've seen is over engineered and over built. The one is this video is fantastically simple. And quite frankly, the best one I've seen to date.
Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you for a great class. Simple and Adaptable! Enjoyed watching you. You are too fun! Gift wrap, wall paper or fabric can give it a great look. or use boxes intentionally to conceal your goods. Ditto with LadyChicory... ideal for "bugging out". The small heavy duty packing boxes from Home Depot are less than $2. (Medium size would be too heavy to carry.) Can't wait to get started. The boxes I store in the garage will be labeled "Decorations". lol : )
This is so awesome. The cardboard ones I saw online were $15 and I really didn't want to spend that money, since saving money is my goal. WOW. I can't thank you enough.
Excellent! Also you could use the fancy duct tape to pretty it up and to make it more durable. Looking forward to more of your DIY . Love it. Nice n simple
this is the best idea I have seen yet. I like the fact that you can close it up and go with it. and if it ever goes bab you can just replace it. very cool!!!!!!
Oh Athena, you are so awesome! I knew there had to be an easier way to make this other than a drill and a saw! LOL! Thank you very much for sharing this and I can't wait to make one of my own!
Kisshope, you probably got the sides too tight and it is scraping the sides a little on the way down. Mine did that the first time I made it. Either that or the last ramp is not steep enough.
Got my.boxes Ans gonna work on making some tomorrow. I also purchased some wire Ines but using these too will save.me a ton of mula! Enough to buy more can goods!
This is awesome. I'd just like to mention to people that you need to make sure you are putting this some place that can hold 500 pounds of weight. Look for load bearing beams and if you are on a second story apartment, this is not a good plan, find another way. I love this idea.
Great tutorial... Very easy to follow... And much more affordable than store bought... It would be cool to see how much ot cost to do the interior foam core.. Do you need 1 sheet... 2..i will have to make one of these
You could reinforce the construction by inserting cheap bamboo skewers thru the sides into the corrugated ramps and strengthen the system up, could use thinner cardboard too. Pak of 100 Skewers @ Wallys (Walmart) $1
I like!!! I just have to find diaper boxes. But my kids r out of diapers so I have to get some from my friends who have babys!!! Very good idea!!! Very frugal too!!!!
Clever spatial planning but overall not for me. Having to spend any money on that stiff shelf board for the inside of a recycled cardboard box doesn't make sense. Using free cardboard as ramp supports and shelves would mean the shelves fall apart under the weight of the first set of cans unless you were careful to always load from the bottom up which defeats the purpose. It's a great basic arrangement and I like that the size is portable for people who move around. It just needs to be built out of more durable materials. Fwiw, I'd just use your diaper box design with the front flap like in your first stage. Then just a simple cardboard ramp floor only using just wadded up newspaper or anything handy to support the ramp then make plain cardboard sheet dividers placed loosely between columns of different type cans. The sloping ramps aren't worth the trouble unless they're going to last but a more basic freebie IS a great re-use of free cardboard. Just pile all eight or ten cans in and let them form a natural zig-zag. Granted, you'd lose the first-in-first-out precision but you'd still have an acceptable batch rotation but for zero cash outlay and less effort. As a bonus, if you find the height of your cans you've bought ever changed, the dividers aren't fixed so no problem. Then when it gets slack or wonky, you just change the cardboard shelf or fit up a new box. Thanks for the basic idea and demo.

This is the BEST use of what you have in a box system. Love it 💕❤️💕

Thanks so much for all your great comments!!! I know it's not the prettiest can rotation box on
the shelf, but I have had some of mine for 2 years and we have moved 3 times and it is still in great shape!!!
Mod podge old magazines on them that you like and bam you made it pretty again.
Putting utility first should always be the goal. Too often I see supposed organization videos where all they did was decorate a mostly empty space. People can decorate it however they want but thanks to you they know how to build it in the first place.
Very good idea. How many cans fit in each section?

Just finished making one and it works perfectly! No more trying to reach into the back of a deep cabinet for dog food. Thanks Athena.
Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial!

I was thinking the exact same thing! :D
This is by far the best homemade can rotation system I have seen and I've watched almost all of the videos on RUclips on this. Very good!
I swear men make it way to complicated. Thank you for your easy instructions!
Yes, we do. Every one I've seen is over engineered and over built. The one is this video is fantastically simple. And quite frankly, the best one I've seen to date.
You are flipping awesome woman!!! This solves my most hated working storage issue in a way I can afford. Subscribed!
Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you for a great class. Simple and Adaptable! Enjoyed watching you. You are too fun!

I was wondering how I could build something similar. Thanks for a very great and useful idea and inexpensive too boot.
Brilliant!!! So simple yet so effective. I am going to make several this weekend for my long term storage pantry. Great job. Thanks for sharing
Oh Athena, you are so awesome! I knew there had to be an easier way to make this other than a drill and a saw! LOL! Thank you very much for sharing this and I can't wait to make one of my own!
Thank you for making this easier to think I can do this than so many other videos.
I love the idea...thanks for taking the time to show it! ☺
Pretty dang slick. I like it. I may use your plans, but make it out of OSB board or something. Thanks for the video!
This is brilliant! 👍🏻
Loved that you re purposed a box, for something practical, wow, thanks for sharing
Good idea thanks for sharing that should help a lot of people❤God bless you and yours.
This is brilliant! I wish you had put the camera further back
You are very clever! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Very ingenious and inexpensive -subscribed !!
Kisshope, you probably got the sides too tight and it is scraping the sides a little on the way down. Mine did that the first time I made it. Either that or the last ramp is not steep enough.
I love this idea. Do you have instructions for us first timers?
i was so impressed with your can rotation system i subscribed to your channel think i will try building this rotation system
love it! very nicely explained!
Great job, it was very helpful and in my cheap budget!!
I got 27 can in this box. I have another diaper box that just holds 21. So it just depends on how big your box is.
Thanks!!!
Wow your amazing at this! I am going to try it this afternoon with my sister and hope it works!! i will let you know! thank you very much!!
The best one I've seen, many thanks.
This is an awesome idea. Very clever.
I must be daft, because I can't figure out when you drop the can why it takes a couple seconds for it to roll to the front.
Got my.boxes Ans gonna work on making some tomorrow. I also purchased some wire Ines but using these too will save.me a ton of mula! Enough to buy more can goods!
That is so awesome and amazing wow THANKS for sharing your GREAT idea
Wow! who would of thought? I subscribed I was impressed!
You go girl, excellent !
Thank you! can't wait to make a few this weekend!!!!
This is awesome. I'd just like to mention to people that you need to make sure you are putting this some place that can hold 500 pounds of weight. Look for load bearing beams and if you are on a second story apartment, this is not a good plan, find another way. I love this idea.

Jamie T you can buy foam board from dollar tree

That's pretty cool !!!. Thanks for sharing.
This is excellent. Thank you.
Wow, you made that look so easy! Thank you!!!
Awesome idea 👏👏👏
You said you move a lot, how often do you find yourself replacing these ? How long do they last with the constant refilling ?
how many cans did this end up holding?
so cool! thats really innovative and awesome, thanks so much!
How many cans will it hold?
love this. Thank you so much!

That is so awesome the way you it
Thanks, that is going to help me a lot!

Too bad we can't even see the finished product!>?!?!?!
