It is not always possible to accommodate the furniture and equipment as the kitchen work so that the span remains. This is especially true in the case of a refrigerator and large-sized furniture / wall. No matter how cool, and the narrow space still remains, especially since nothing and it is impossible to move to the refrigerator. But when the kitchen is completely tiny, but all sorts of jars, boxes, vases and different smallers simply have nowhere to give, then the hands will be cushed to use even such a narrow space.
Nowadays, it will not be difficult to find a tavering shelf that can cope with the task of rational use of a narrow span between the refrigerator and the nearest object, but it is not always possible to choose the desired size or carved considerable funds from the family budget. Therefore, the only way out remains - make it yourself, as the American blogger did, and the inventive master from New York - Isabelle La Rue, which is trying to use any opportunity to equip his apartment on its own.
Who has the same problem, he will be able to repeat the simple actions without any special problems, which performed Isabelle, avoiding her mistakes and listening to the councils. In order for the dying regiment to serve for a long time and was a reliable assistant, you need to purchase high-quality materials, in this case, boards, fasteners Elements, wheels and paint, which is suitable for the color of your headset. After analyzing what height will make the shelf, you should thoroughly measure the width of the span, and it is done in several places and at different levels.
Important! The width of the facial and rear strip must be 1 cm shorter than the narrow place. It is these planks that will be the basis of the design, so they should provide free move.
After it was decided on the height and width of the boards, the extra centimeters of the material were cut off, all sections, and the canvas itself is better to polish to avoid injury both during operation and operation. In order for the shelves to bring as much benefit as possible, it is necessary to think about it, which will be stored, the question will be especially important if there are bottles there, high boxes with cereal / sugar or non-standard cans. The distance between the shelves should also be counted with the allowance, so as not to push with the force of one or another item.
To start on the shelf, which will be located downstairs, you need to fix the wheels. This is a very responsible moment, from which the convenience of use and service life of the shelf will depend. They should be placed closer to the side edge of the shelf at the same time to ensure that the movement in all parties prevented anything. Wheels to the board can be attached with self-draws. When everything is fixed, the lower shelf is screwed so that the wheels perform at 0.5 - 0.6 cm from under the facade and rear strip, which serve as a frame. After that, you can install the remaining shelves using the screws.
In order for the items not to fall out from the shelf, the sides should set the planks that will hold the contents in their places. For this, a more subtle and narrow rail will be suitable, which you also need to be carefully sanded before consolidation. Prepared rails are better fixed on metal corners of the desired size at a height of 5-6 cm from the shelves and it is necessary to do it on both sides to securely fix items on the shelf.
When the structure of the shelf is fully ready, the authors of Novate.ru advise before painting to check how it comes in between the refrigerator and the cabinet / wall, and if something does not arrange at this stage, then the position can be corrected without any problems. An unpleasant surprise can become a plinth that will not allow the shelf completely. If this happens - drank to help. In this case, it will be enough to cut the excess material on the rear end bar, which is in front of the wheels.
Only after that you can proceed to the preparation of wood to painting or opening with varnish (it all depends on the design of the kitchen interior). Those places where there are knots on the tree, you need to pre-treat with a transparent varnish so that the resin does not appear, especially sad it looks like, if you open a one-photon enamel. If there is no special varnish, you can safely use a transparent nail cover - the effect will be the same. When the applied coating dry first walk the sandpaper to challenge the surface. Then, after cleaning from dust, you can apply paint into several layers so that the tone turns out to be more uniform.
Tips from Isabel: To prevent the full pulling shelf extension, it is better to install stoppers. For these purposes, plastic hooks with a blunt tip are used, which are fixed on the vertical surface of the cabinet and the same element is glued to the wall of the refrigerator. So they will stop loaded by banks, bottles and various devices created by the shelf.
One who wants to compact the space in the same way, the whole process of creating a narrow narrow shelf can see in the video, which Isabel shared on its channel "Engineeryourspace" ("Create your own space").
