How to make a pull out shelf ?
+4
I have a very deep cabinet that is up high. How can I make a pull out shelf so I can get to the items in back without having to pull everything out first.

You can buy hardware and add to a wooden tray you build. I just added pull out shelves to my base cabinets. Life changing!
You could do like me, I am short, so I need a stool or ladder to get up into the top shelves anyway. I also put the things I use the least in the top shelves just so I don't have to get the stool or ladder out.
You can get drawer slides to fasten to the sides of the cabinet..... see 8:02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQbeCCU6o9k be sure to add a 2 1/2" - 3" back piece to the sliding shelf to prevent items falling off the back
big box diy store has the hardware and shelving system to drop down a shelf. house no 2 my mum was getting worse with the arthritis, did a lot of adapting cupboards. the pull out drop down spice rack was cool. when I sold the place, the person who bought it mentioned it as a selling feature. full price for selling, day 1 on the market .
Some ideas..
