I think this DIY project would work great for pantry or basement storage! I can see lots of options with this, it’s perfect because it can be customized to fit your needs and space!

Materials:
Note: Quantities depend on the size of your shelving system and the number of shelves, bins, and/or drawers you include.

  • 4-by-8-foot sheets 3/4-inch plywood
  • pine 1×2s
  • pine 1×3s
  • 1/2-inch plywood
  • pine 1×10s
  • pine 2×2s
  • wood glue
  • 1¼-inch drywall screws
  • L-brackets
  • 3d finish nails
  • 6d finish nails

There is a nice tutorial over at Hobby Farms where you can find plans, directions and information, check it out via the link below! 

*** TIP – Two small investments for your root cellar should be a thermometer to measure temperature and a hygrometer to measure humidity. This way you can ensure your conditions are right to keep your food fresh for the longest possible time. ***
