Make Your Own Can Rotator Shelf - with no glue or tape!

This is my home-made cardboard can rotator shelf. It was made with no glue, tape, or adhesive of any kind, utilizing a tab and slot method.

Once I iron out the kinks and get exact measurements I will post them online for free for everybody to use. Let me know what you think!

Very creative twist to this concept, great work and thanks for sharing!

Just as I was about to make my own cardboard can rotation system, my sister made a good point that stopped me in my tracks. Critters love cardboard. Roaches, ants, spiders, etc. I live in a tropical climate where pests are a real pain. So although I keep my place clean, I decided it wasn't worth risk giving bugs a place to hang out. So I am back evaluating options.

I wouldn't worry about it. Insects that are already there may choose to hide out in cardboard, but if your place is bug-free already having cardboard won't attract them.

Any word on when building plans might be released? Huh, huh, please, please?

@AnnBearForFreedom

haha yeah i have been dragging my ass on that, sorry. I will work on it ASAP!

absolutely ingenious - love seeing vids like this ..thanks! I just subscribed. :) I guess you can use this for #10 cans too - just make bigger?

[TheLordHumungus]

@pokeythepatriot777

hmm, not sure. #10 cans are pretty big, I'm not sure if cardboard would hold the weight.

@TheLordHumungus Right on - we all learn from each other... its like... a FREE MARKET! :)

hey again guy. roaches love cardboard. ill give away my idea because i havent tried it yet. instead of thinking frount to back what you do is use 1x4s or 1x6s, on a wall like shelves but with a slant. old cans on the low end and just place new cans on the upper end. you could even use #10 cans. bet you can get 15 to 20 rows of "shelves" on a wall. you could even make them double or triple rows per shelf if its done right. that will be 800 ozs of silver, please

[geraldb4201]

i like the cardboard idea but i still want to try to build one with wood because i think it would look nice when finished and could handle any amount of weight that you would get from your cans

@TheLordHumungus I do appreciate the reply!

@TheLordHumungus I've read that same advice given around the internet. I guess since I've always lived in older houses and apartments and I've had to deal with pests so much, I'm still over-cautious. :) Especially if we're thinking as preppers, avoiding pests at all costs ain't such a bad idea. Colder climates may not have to worry about this, but I've seen bugs nest in the most random places. I don't mean to be debating with ya here, if I were in a Nothern state I'd be right on board.
