Hey Todd! I asked my husband and he does not remember the exact angle. They were cut to fit our specific space though. Sorry I don’t have the specifics on that.

Even just the floor measurements would give me. Enough information. Thanks!

I am wanting to put a pantry in our kitchen but have a small area to work in. Like the width of each wall and then the size door you installed.

Hi Estela!
The ceiling is a standard 8 foot ceiling. As far as the shelves, if you look a few photos down you will see firring strips my husband placed. Because the area was smaller those held the shelves really well. We had canned goods etc and have not had a sagging problem. If it was larger we would have added extra bracing but this worked great. Ours have been in place about 4 years and no sagging or tilting whatsoever. But again, the depth of the shelves and the width of the area would determine if we needed more bracing. But they held up wonderfully. Ü
So glad you liked it. Always happy to inspire!
Good luck!
Nancy

And you guys make it look so easy. How tall is your ceiling? I’m curious. It looks beautiful and how are the shelves holding on? My husband is afraid they’ll tilt forward after a while

Hi Liz!
Well you can technically take anything down and then patch and paint the walls. Ü but as we built this in it would be a lot of work. I’m sure there’s a way to make it more portable but I don’t know the details on how you would do that. We lived in rentals for many many years and I have several posts about how I adapted space but I never did a pantry for a rental. Hope you come up with something that works!

Here are a few of my posts that I did when we lived in rentals. Maybe they will spark some ideas.

(the last wasn’t a rental but it would still work great for that!)

This looks great and something we need for our new place. Do you know if this is something that we could take down when we move? Our place is a rental…

Hi Teresa! Unfortunately every place is different. We just kind of figured ours out by deciding what we wanted then measuring. A window might complicate things depending on location. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Good luck!

Hi Sue! I made the label using my Silhouette Portrait vinyl cutting machine: https://amzn.to/2FKXEQw The font is Style Script Pro. The colors are from the vinyl I cut but are close to these: #008eba #b94b7c #8d8d55

Hi Amber… sorry for the delay. We moved and I was unavailable for a while. It took us about a week I think. All depends on how much time you spend on it each day. Ü

Can you tell me roughly how long this took to build?
