Heavy Duty Bulk Pantry Bins for Cans

Why I Built These Bulk Pantry Bins

I wanted an open-front pantry bin that could handle the real weight of canned food while keeping labels easy to see. The raw photos show the actual bins I have used in my pantry for more than five years. They are heavy duty!

Why We Love These Bulk Bins

- Sized for standard cans to fit neatly
- Easily holds at least three dozen cans
- Low front makes cans easy to see and reach
- Heavy-duty 1x8 construction
- Bottom-mounted plywood makes a smooth, sturdy base that rests directly on a pantry shelf
- Easy to customize into a longer bin with dividers

Longer Widths

You can make the front, back, and plywood bottom longer to fit your shelf. For a longer bin, add a shaped 1x8 divider every 15-1/2 to 18 inches. The dividers organize different foods and keep the longer front, back, and bottom well supported.
