The advantages of making do-it-yourself shelves
Racks or shelves themselves are not difficult to manufacture due to their simplicity and the resulting cheapness. As a rule, they are easier to pick up from finished products or to craft them yourself than cabinets or other storage systems.
It should also be borne in mind that houses have their own layouts, and there is not always space allocated for storage in it. Then the owner of the dwelling usually equips a kind of storage room under the stairs, on the balcony, in the corridor, in various niches and recesses in the walls of the house or apartment.
In this case, purchased devices with a standard factory design will not work in principle, there will simply not be room for them. It will be difficult to find the right size furniture. It will take careful thought about how to make shelves in the pantry or shelving with your own hands.

Let's take a closer look at the materials - boards and shelves, at their location.
Features of the arrangement of shelves and racks

Important! When choosing an option, you need to take into account not only the financial capabilities of the owner of the apartment, but also his skills in the field of construction and installation work. Otherwise, the material will be hopelessly damaged, and the product will ultimately turn out to be of low quality or completely unusable, especially in a conspicuous place.
If the owner of the home is a jack of all trades, you can make a shelf in the pantry with your own hands gracefully and beautifully, based on its purpose, the materials at hand, in accordance with the tastes and wishes of the household.
Materials for the manufacture of shelves and racks
So, what materials are desirable to use in the manufacture of shelves and racks? To do this, take into account what this or that shelf is intended for.
So, for example, if something heavy will be stored on the shelf, such as cans with twists, or equipment, or parts, then you need a metal or wooden structure. They have sufficient strength and long service life, and due to the fact that the shelves have good stability, they can also be used for storing various building materials. But in this case, it is required to install stiffeners in the structure.
There is also an analogue - plastic structures that are lightweight, while they are no less durable. Also, they do not need special processing: plastic does not lend itself to rusting and mold, it is easy to clean it from contamination.

Shelves made of wood have good strength, but you need to correctly determine the thickness of the board and the places of fasteners. And the best material for wood shelving is larch, or pine, since it is easy to process. Special tools for working with such material are not required, and those that are needed are usually easily accessible and available to everyone.

In order to store less heavy supplies, such as dishes or books, or collectibles, glass, plywood, or MDF can be used. Limiting sides should be added to the shelves so as not to accidentally break fragile objects, or scatter loose.
However, we did not consider all the materials, but only those that are most common. It's always easy to get hold of. So, for example, meter-long boards can be removed from a wooden pallet, which are usually used on construction sites and are thrown away by builders as garbage. Or plastic boxes for vegetables, or old unnecessary furniture.
