How To Build A Rolling Kitchen Pantry Rack

Is your small kitchen making it difficult to categorize as well as organize all of your food and spices? If lack of space is getting to be an issue, then why not build your own kitchen pantry on wheels! This is a relatively easy DIY woodworking project that can be done by almost anyone and it will save you money from buying an expensive pre-manufactured one. So see below for our step-by-step DIY rolling mobile kitchen pantry rack.

Here are the materials you will need to build your own Rolling Kitchen Pantry:

  • 64″ 1 x 4 Wood – Quantity of 2 = Ladder frame.
  • 29.5″ 1 x 4 Wood – Quantity of 7 = Shelves & top & base.
  • 31.5″ x 6′ Board – Quantity of 1 = Back portion of pantry.
  • 1/4″ x 31″ Dowel rods – Quantity of 5 = Front shelf guard rails to stop items from falling off.
  • 2″ Casters (wheels) – Quantity of 4 = For mobility (non swivel!).

We also started to wood stain the frames and shelves as we assembled.

    Ryan,
    Use the layout of this design but use your own plans to make the pantry less top heavy. OR… Just put the heavier items on the bottom and the smaller items on top. :)

  2. I am thinking about building one of these but was wondering how stable it is when pulled out. It looks like it could be a bit top heavy.
