Project Summary

Budget:

$130.00

Materials:

Cast iron pot rack
nine foot red oak plank
9 x 2 1/2 cabinet screws
level
drill
2 people for final install

We have limited storage in our kitchen and several very heavy copper pots. We decided on a wall mount pot rack after experimenting with the ceiling with no luck (space problems). We ordered it online and it turned out the holes did not line up with the studs in the wall. After posting on the site I got advice on mounting it on a board (see community forums, interior, kitchens). It was simple but very satisfying, I spent the most time putting coats of tung oil on the red oak plank we used, and of course did lots of measuring.

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! We have space issues in our kitchen also and could never make a ceiling rack work--this would be PERFECT. Especially with the wood--I like that better than just the metal rack itself. GREAT job. Thanks so much for sharing. It was super helpful and now my DIYer wheels are turning--wish me luck! :)
