Measure and cut.

You will need 3 different cuts of material to construct your storage rack: vertical beams, horizontal supports and “drawer slides”. The vertical beams need to be strong, especially if your rack is tall and holds heavy things. The horizontal beams can be made from mostly anything. The draw slides should be thick enough to support your container, and you will need a lot of these - 2 for each container. With measurements and cuts it is important to give enough tolerance for easy sliding of your “drawers” (containers), but not too much.

For our rack we cut 6 vertical beams, 6 horizontal support pieces, and 32 drawer slides.
