Pantry Wire Shelving in Ponce de Leon, Florida
Pantry shelf levels set for what you keep, and shelving for new Ponce de Leon houses.
Pantry shelving in Ponce de Leon
Big Bend Services, Inc. supplies and installs wire shelving in Ponce de Leon, ZIP code 32455, in pantries, closets, laundry rooms, garages and storage rooms.
A pantry works when each shelf level fits what sits on it, so cans are not stacked three high and cereal boxes do not have to lie on their sides. Tell us whether the pantry is a closet with a door or a walk-in, and what you keep in it.
Shelf spacing
Setting pantry shelf levels
Walk through what is in the pantry now, from the shortest jar to the tallest. The gaps between shelves follow that list.
Small appliances
A slow cooker, mixer or air fryer needs the tallest gap, on a lower shelf where it is easy to lift down.
Bulk goods
Cases of drinks and big sacks of rice or dog food sit on the pantry floor, below the first shelf.
The top shelf
Paper goods, party supplies and anything used a few times a year.
Closet pantry or walk-in pantry
A pantry closet with a door gets shelves that run its full width. Shallower shelves keep food from hiding at the back, and the ends behind the door frame can take narrow shelves for spices and small jars.
A walk-in pantry has shelving on two or three walls. The shelves can wrap the corners so no wall is lost, with the floor in the middle kept clear. A window or a light switch inside the pantry gets shelving that stops short of it.
In either kind, the door decides how close to the opening the shelves can come. A door that swings in needs its arc left clear, while a door that swings out into the kitchen lets shelving run right up to the frame.
Odd shapes
Pantry goods that do not fit a standard shelf
Some kitchen things are not cans or boxes. Planning for them keeps them off the floor.
Canning jars
A level with a gap sized to one jar height, so filled jars sit in a single row and are never stacked.
Tall bottles
Oil, vinegar and syrup bottles need a taller gap than cans. One level set for them keeps them standing, with the tallest at the back.
Baking sheets and trays
These stand on edge at the end of a shelf, between the shelf and the wall, instead of lying flat.
Lunch boxes and water bottles
A shelf near the pantry door keeps them together for school and work mornings.
Paper bags and wraps
Folded grocery bags, foil and plastic wrap fit on a narrow level of their own near the door.
Small pantries
Shallow, corner and under-stair pantries
A pantry that is not a plain rectangle still takes wire shelving, set to its shape.
A shallow closet
More levels, set closer together, since each shelf holds only a row or two.
A corner pantry
The two side walls carry the shelves, since the angled door leaves little wall at the front.
A pantry under the stairs
Levels step down with the slope, with bulk things kept at the short end.
A pantry near the garage or back door
A pantry close to the door you carry groceries in through saves steps. If the pantry sits by the garage or back door, a landing shelf at waist height just inside gives bags somewhere to go while the food is put away, and the path from that door to the pantry stays clear of shelving.
Shared space
Pantries that hold more than food
A pantry that also stores household things needs room set aside for them before the shelf levels are chosen.
A broom and a mop
An open strip at one end of the pantry, with no shelves below head height, lets them stand upright next to the dustpan and a step stool.
A recycling bin
Floor space under the lowest shelf, near the door, holds a bin that is easy to pull out and carry to the curb.
A second refrigerator or freezer
The shelving stops at its sides and leaves room for its door to swing open.
Cleaning products
A shelf of their own on the side farthest from the food.
New houses
Pantry and closet shelving for builders finishing a Ponce de Leon house
Builders are served as well as owners. Every room that gets shelving in a new house can go on one quote.
Paint first
Say whether the walls are finished and painted, and give us the date if they are not.
A neutral pantry
For a house that will be sold, evenly spaced pantry shelves leave the layout open to whoever buys it.
A site contact
The name and number of the person who can open the house and answer questions on the day, whether that is the builder, a site lead or the new owner.
Other services for the same house
A new house also needs a blower door test under the Florida energy code, and we test new homes as well.
The rest of a new house
Laundry room, garage and closet shelving in a new Ponce de Leon house
Laundry room
When the washer is not bought yet, a shelf set high enough for a top-loading lid works over either kind.
Garage
Side-wall shelving goes in once the garage door and its tracks are in place, so it can be set below them.
Bedroom closets
A shelf and rod in each, or double hang in a child's room.
Pantry and closet layouts for a known owner
On a house built for a known owner, the owner can say what they plan to keep in the pantry, and the levels are spaced for it before they move in. The closets can follow their list too: a walk-in closet planned for its owner gets long and short hanging in the amounts they need, rather than a single rod on every wall.
