A retractable basket (mesh) in the kitchen, or, as it is commonly called, cargo, is a convenient thing in any kitchen. Built into the kitchen section. Cargo is usually made of a metal rod in the form of a mesh, which is installed on various kinds of guides. There are nets, both full and partial extension, one-, two-story, chrome-plated, enameled, painted - different. Each manufacturer offers its own options. What is called, who is into what. In general, there is a choice.
Every housewife would like to have such a thing in her kitchen. I pulled it out and everything was in full view, this is not like raking out from the farthest corner of the cabinet, until you get to the right thing, you need to shovel all the deposits. All the advantages, so to speak, are obvious.
Every housewife would like to have such a thing in her kitchen, BUT. Not everyone has the financial ability to install such a thing in their kitchen. Prices for such nets start from 900 rubles. for the simplest one, and this does not count the money that will be charged for its installation. In general, everyone has their own reasons for temporarily giving up cargo.
But the article is not about the lack of opportunity, but precisely about opportunities. If you get a little imaginative, you can find interesting options for how to change the “awl for soap”, but still have both the awl and the soap. Those. how to replace expensive cargo with cheaper cargo without loss of functionality and even with benefit.
The best decision, as always, is to do everything yourself. I will just push the reader a little towards the right thought.
And so, here it is, store-bought cargo, one of the options:
and cargo already mounted in the section:
The width of cargo pull-out baskets may vary. In depth, in most cases they range from 460 to 510 mm. this size depends more on the invention of the manufacturer than on any ergonomics. But they can vary in width and height, from baskets designed for additional sections with a width of 150 mm. and up to full-length sizes, per section up to 900 mm. Their height is the same, from the baskets built into the lower sections under the sink, 160 mm high. up to “mesh cabinets” up to 1400 mm high. However, most sizes are designed for the standard height of the lower kitchen section = 720 mm.
Homemade cargo (homemade retractable basket).
The goal that stood before me was to give the readers of the site not the exact dimensions of a specific product option, because such options may not be individually countable. But give the very idea of how to make cargo with your own hands. Cheap, simple, and therefore not too angry, but no less practical and, perhaps, even more reliable in some respects. Of course, I will explain the idea using a specific example with specific dimensions. Meet me. homemade cargo
.
Everything is made from several cut pieces of laminated chipboard, connected by confirmations. The entire structure is installed on standard full extension ball telescopic guides.
If desired, you can use guides complete with the closer mechanism. This will give the homemade cargo more antlers or something. (couldn't find the right words). The increase in price in the version with a door closer is quite a bit; a set of such a door closer costs about $2 US. It is installed simply, the block with springs is screwed with two self-tapping screws to the side of the section, and the trigger pawl is screwed to the wall of the cargo. To hide the mechanism from view, it can be placed under the bottom of the cargo.

I will not give drilling diagrams for each part here, since I believe that the dimensions of the drill are not important here. And any master who has looked at this site will probably be able to figure out how and where to drill assembly holes.
Indicating which ends of the parts would be nice to cover with edge tape.

Of all the accessories, you will only need a set of guides, several self-tapping screws 3.5x16, 4x30 and confirmations with plugs. Self-tapping screws 4x30 in the amount of 4 pcs. needed for attaching the facade to the front part of the cargo.
Cargo for the kitchen
One of the elements of the kitchen set is a regular bottle holder or cargo bottle. It is located in the kitchen unit, looks like an ordinary cabinet, and opens by pulling out the shelves. Bottles and cans are placed on it in a convenient position. With the help of special stops, they do not turn over and do not fall out of the shelf when it is opened.
Functionality
The bottle holder performs a specific function - it stores various bottles and jars. Basically, its place is near the stove. If the kitchen is spacious, then the kitchen unit can have two of them - on both sides of the stove. This is very convenient because, standing at the stove, you don’t need to go anywhere to add oil - everything is at hand.
The design of the bottle holder is very convenient. In addition to numerous jars and bottles, you can store baking sheets, towels, detergents or cereals in it. This shelf has many purposes.
If we consider baskets for storing homemade products, canned food and drinking water, then they should be retractable and located close to the worktops.
If the cargo is intended for detergents and cleaning products, then it must be installed next to the sink or washing machine. The depth and width of the niche are taken into account.
The bottle holder that stores sunflower oil, spices, and vinegar should be located closer to the stove where food is prepared.
The bottle maker, which fully lives up to its name and functions as a bar, is logical to place next to the dining area.
We are sure that you will be interested in information about making wooden utensils with your own hands.
Varieties
Finished products may vary:
- by the number of levels;
- according to the method of fastening;
- by size.
As a rule, the bottle holder has two levels. They can accommodate bottles of different heights. There are also three-level products, but it is not possible to place a tall bottle in it. Because of this, there will be a whole row of spice jars and small bottles that have a non-vertical shape.
The cargo is secured inside the box using special guides. According to the method of fastening, a distinction is made between side and bottom. Side mounting is considered more convenient, since it will be easier to adjust the facade in the future. Guide rails are located to the left and right of the roll-out basket.
Bottom fastening is called a fastening in which the guides are fixed to the base of the box. It is used when there is not enough space in a narrow box for side fixation. In this case, adjusting the gaps is much more difficult. Sometimes cargo can be installed using bottom fixing directly to the floor. The main condition for such fastening is the presence of a perfectly flat and smooth floor.
When purchasing a retractable bottle holder, the kit includes an installation diagram and fasteners. If there are no elements, then self-tapping screws up to 10 mm long, which are intended for wood, will do.
Bottle holder for the kitchen: dimensions
Kitchen furniture manufacturers offer retractable bottle holders, the width of which can be from 100 mm to 450 mm, in increments of 50 mm. Modern kitchen furniture is incomplete without such a spacious basket. In cargo of non-standard sizes, you can store not only bottles and canned food, but also cauldrons, pots, pans and even some household appliances.
In the furniture set for a small kitchen, narrow systems with side fastening are installed. The most common size is considered to be 200 mm wide.
When planning a set of kitchen cabinets, allocate a narrow space for a bottle holder. Such a place will never be empty; you will notice its advantage the first time you prepare food.
Cargo installation
First, you need to measure the niche and buy a high-quality retractable model that fits the size. Let's take a closer look at the installation of a two-row model.
Measurements are made of the distance between the guides, using the holes for their fastening. The location is determined by eye, depending on the height and depth of the box. The height of the bottle, which will be on the top tier of the cargo, is taken into account.
In order for the cargo to function normally, you need to provide a gap between the back wall of the box and the fittings; the depth of the box is taken into account. The same needs to be done in front: it should be attached deep into the module, 10-15 mm.
Inside, on the side wall of the box, markings are made for the guides. Then the guides are removed from the fittings and attached to the side wall. The marking must be done accurately and carefully, taking into account the exact data of its width and length. When the guides are secured, the bottle holder itself is inserted into them.
Next you need to assemble the entire box.
And finally, the façade is installed. To do this you will need 4 screws: 2 for the top and 2 for the bottom. First you need to make markings. To do this, you can attach the facade to the fittings, or you can take measurements using a tape measure.
All that remains is to put a handle on the façade.
Do-it-yourself cargo for the kitchen
We are considering the manufacture of a free-standing, convenient module, which, if necessary, can be moved to any convenient place.
To work you need self-tapping screws, 1 cm plywood, 15x25 mm timber and acrylic paint in white, black and bronze. Take any paint that will best suit the design of your kitchen. The tools you need are a hacksaw, sandpaper, a drill and a drill bit.
Let's get started:
- On the plywood we mark rectangles measuring 40x45 cm and cut them out.
- According to the diagram, we make markings for the holes. We change the attachment on the drill and cut out several round holes.
- Using sandpaper we process the edges of the resulting holes.
- At the bottom of each workpiece we make legs by sawing out a semicircle.
- Using a hacksaw, we cut the block into pieces 18 cm long. The ends are treated with coarse sandpaper. At a distance of 60 mm from the top and from the bottom, we make markings. We prepare holes for the screws, assemble them by screwing them to the previously cut bars.
- We prime the surface and paint it in the color you like. You can use clear varnish instead of paint.
A handmade bottle holder will be a unique and convenient module in the interior.
Cargo design
As you understand, many useful devices can decorate the interior of the kitchen. These include the bottle holder. If it is intended exclusively for wine, then it should be located away from sources of heat and cold. Temperature changes may cause the product to deteriorate.
To make such a device at home, the following materials are used:
- glass;
- plastic;
- tree;
- metal.
The device can be made for one bottle or several. An exclusive bottle of rare wine that will be served to the table will look very beautiful.
The device can be purchased at any furniture store, or you can order it. This way the design will be the way you like it and will fit into the model strictly in size.
Cargo may not be built into the kitchen set. It can be placed on any shelf in the closet.
Types of fastenings and their advantages
To equip a kitchen table with a special “cargo” section, several options for fixing the fittings are used. The efficiency of the entire system will depend on the location of the working elements. The most common are two types of fastening - side and bottom.
Side mount
In this case, the guide should be attached to the side panel of the cabinet. The width of the device should not exceed 15 cm. This is the optimal value.
The bottle holder must accommodate as many items as possible without overloading the supporting structure, which is why it is so important to follow a certain order in the selection and installation of elements:
- The first step is to select the kitchen cabinet itself to which the fittings will be attached. Among the wide variety of side-mounted models, there are options in which a special compartment is allocated for cargo. However, this is not necessary if we are talking about making a headset yourself. Absolutely any cabinet is suitable for these purposes. A partition is simply installed between departments.
- The second stage is the installation of guides to the inner surface of the drawer wall. As a rule, all the necessary fasteners are sold complete with fittings. If these parts are not included in the kit, you can use self-tapping screws of short length - 1 cm. You should buy only wood screws.
- The third stage is attaching the bottle holder.
- The last step is to attach the front panel and the handle to it.
Useful tips
Cargo can be placed inside upper (wall) or lower cabinets. It depends on the customer’s preferences, his height, and the purpose of this box.
If the kitchen set will be made for a large kitchen area, then you can plan in advance for the installation of two bottle holders. They can be placed on both sides of the hob. This will allow you to keep many items within reach while cooking.
You can arrange one compartment at the top, in a wall cabinet, and the second at the bottom, near the stove. Such designs of additional sliding shelves are very convenient.
A multi-level bottle holder, the height of which can reach human height, will fit perfectly into a spacious room. It can accommodate a bar, a stand for baking sheets and trays, a shelf for cereals and cans, and much more.
If there are towels in the cargo, then it is worth installing a towel holder there.
If you don't want to hear glassware clinking when you slide out or turn the cargo, it's worth installing bottle dividers inside. They will prevent glass bottles from falling on a half-empty shelf.
To ensure complete comfort when using cargo, you need to choose models equipped with closers and devices for soft, silent closing.
When choosing cargo, pay attention to the quality of the shiny coating on the metal. The ideal option would be chrome plating, which is done by galvanic means. The resulting coating will last a long time; there will be no scratches, chips, abrasions or rust on the surface.
Location options
There are several ways to place bottle holders. As a rule, it depends on what exactly you plan to use it for.
There are two main types:
- built-in;
- autonomous.
The first model is suitable for installation in a kitchen cabinet. The stand-alone design is independent of your existing headset. Install it in any place. This is a completely independent element from the kitchen design. Bottle holders are also distinguished by the number of shelves:
- two-level;
- three-level.
In the first case, you can place tall bottles. Three-tier cargos are designed for a larger number of items, but they have height restrictions. When choosing one option or another, you need to focus on what exactly you plan to place. For small containers or dishes, a three-tier bottle holder is perfect. And for standard containers with vegetable oil, it is better to choose an option with fewer floors.
Bottom cabinet
This area is suitable for storing cargo for detergents, oils in tall and bulky containers, bottles of wine and other alcoholic beverages. It is convenient to store not only utensils, but also kitchen towels. It is advisable to place cargo near a sink or washing machine. Dishwashing detergents will always be at hand.
Upper cabinet
In this part of the kitchen furniture, bottle holders are often used for spices and seasonings. This keeps the herbs clean and tidy - no moisture or contaminants will get into them. It is convenient to place the cargo close to the hob.
Column cabinet
This installation option is an advantageous design solution for almost any kitchen. This arrangement is planned at the design stage of the headset. In order for everything to look harmonious, consider placing the bottle holder next to a single façade. Also, cargo in the form of a column cabinet is often located near the refrigerator.
Mounting options
The method of fastening the cargo also affects its location. There are 2 types of fastening:
- - Bottom mount - the bottle holder can be located anywhere in the kitchen. Used when there is not enough space for side mounting. The rails are installed on the bottom of the kitchen unit or to the floor. Important. The floor in the kitchen should be extremely level.
- — Lateral fastening – the structure is attached to the wall of a cabinet of the same size. It is considered a more stable mount. The box that is being rolled out moves along rails located on opposite sides of it.
Depending on the wishes of the owner, cargo is placed in the upper (wall) or lower cabinet.
Bottom cabinet
It is considered the most convenient and popular cargo option. Convenience is explained by the location of things, literally, at hand.
Upper cabinet
Located in the top cabinet. The housewife places rarely used household items. For example, service, jars of cereals.
DIY bottle holder for the kitchen
When making this accessory at home, you must first determine the purpose of use. Next, the dimensions and location are measured. It is necessary to plan what the number of levels will be. The cost of a homemade design will be an order of magnitude lower than when ordering it from a company.
After the measurements, a drawing is made and all the necessary materials and accessories are purchased.
Accessories for the bottle holder include:
- closer;
- railing handles;
- guide system.
Common and proven companies of cargo components:
- "Bloom";
- "Vibo"
- "Kessebohmer".
Blum, a company from Austria, has established itself as a reliable supplier of retractable systems and fittings. Manufactures structures 450-500 mm long with fastenings for spacer plugs and self-tapping screws. The price of bottle holder elements ranges from 6000-7000 rubles. The advantage of these systems is the smooth sliding of the drawer closing mechanism, which does not depend on the load weight. Wear-resistant rollers last for many years.
"Vibo" is an Italian manufacturer of premium fittings. This brand is focused on the most effective solutions in using kitchen space. Models of two or three levels are made with a width from 100 to 450 mm. Can be used for installation in both upper and lower cabinets.
Vibo fittings are made for use with or without a door closer. As for the cost, it varies between 5,000-10,000 rubles.
Kessebohmer is a German company specializing in the production of components. Their focus is functionality and creativity. Standard models of bottle holders include not only modules for main containers, but also space for baking trays and a towel holder. Options for the number of shelves – from one to three. The guides in this system have a diagonal arrangement, the parts are fastened with self-tapping screws. The cost of these kitchen elements is much higher - varies from 10,000 rubles.
When choosing a manufacturer, you should pay attention not only to the brand, but also to focus on the quality and material of manufacture. It is better to choose chrome-plated steel components. They are strong and durable.
After the necessary components have been purchased, you need to make an outer box. Suitable for this:
- MDF;
- solid natural wood;
- Chipboard.
It is important to consider the dimensions of the internal structure, taking into account the fittings.
Making a bottle holder from chipboard with your own hands
It’s easiest to make cargo from laminated chipboard at home. It is better to choose the color of the slab the same as the base for the kitchen as a whole, but if you have any difficulties with this, any other color will do, preferably darker.
Let's look at the step-by-step assembly of a block with a double-sided asymmetrical arrangement of a retractable mechanism and a side wall.
- Cut the sidewall 580x460
- Prepare the strips for the sides. 4 short (90×242) and 2 long (90×428).
- The bottom will be inserted inside the tier, its dimensions are 428x226
- All parts, except the bottom plate, need to be covered with an edge.
The facade is mounted with self-tapping screws (30 mm) from the front of the module through short strips.
Tips for making
Below are recommendations for those who decide to make cargo with their own hands:
- At the design stage, it is necessary to plan the load. The narrow version of the design can withstand much less weight than wider elements.
- By purchasing special soft separators, you can minimize beating and ringing when bottles and dishes come into contact.
- It is recommended to use door closers. They allow you to make the design silent.
- It is better to trust the quality when choosing accessories. The more reliable the coating of the material, the less likely it is for chips, abrasions and rust to occur.
When making cargo with your own hands, you need to pay attention to accurate drawings at the design stage. If measurements are taken incorrectly, the design may not work correctly in the future. It is worth considering that the inside of the bottle holder is not only made of metal. It can also be made from wooden rods or even using the macrame weaving technique. When creating furniture with your own hands, the flight of imagination is endless.
Cargo as an item for arranging containers has been used in modern kitchens relatively recently. However, thanks to its high functionality and convenience, the bottle holder has become a popular piece of kitchen furniture in a short period of time. It allows you to use even the smallest space in the room rationally and conveniently. Any housewife will like this, because you can place everything you need at hand.
A functional kitchen is the dream of any housewife. Yes, whatever, and the owner too. It’s not enough to correctly plan the placement of cabinets and choose beautiful facades for them. The storage system is what is truly valuable in any headset. A bottle holder for the kitchen is one of the modern devices for arranging furniture. In it you can compactly place all kinds of saucepans, jars, bottles, so that they are always at hand. The editors of the online magazine Homius.ru have prepared material about such a kitchen “gadget” that will help you choose and assemble it yourself.
Bottle holders, no matter what anyone says, make the interior luxurious
Do you need a bottle holder in the kitchen: pros and cons
A retractable bottle holder is an indispensable and desired attribute of a modern kitchen. Despite the fact that such specific pull-out cabinets have been in use for more than a couple of years, everyone “covets” them. Even owners of small kitchens and people with a minimum budget to purchase it. Is it so convenient and irreplaceable?
Pictured is a bottle holder for the kitchen
What is stored in the bottle: sunflower oil, vinegar, sauces. In wide models you can find anything you want - spices, cereals, dishes. Some even order two bottle holders so that they can store household chemicals in the second one.
Convenience:
- all bottles in one place;
- you can fit a bunch of little things;
- completeness of the set, especially if the kitchen is of non-standard sizes: for example, there is a free space of about 20 cm - you can’t even put a drawer, and you won’t leave any free space.
Of the minuses:
- if there are small children in the house, then such a box will be empty for the first three years, or even more. It’s so interesting to constantly pull out a small drawer. In this case, you can completely forget about storing vinegar in it;
- when the bottle is less than half full, it falls when the box is opened, which is not very convenient;
- with a small kitchen area, even 15 cm to a regular drawer will not be superfluous;
- it is important to choose the right location, otherwise you can forget about the benefits of such a box;
- considerable cost. Setting up a bottle holder is not a cheap pleasure. If the budget is limited, then saving on fittings, countertops or facades is not advisable just to build in such a drawer;
- inconvenient to clean from dirt. The standard and simplest bottle holder is a regular lattice without a bottom. As the practice of most people shows, if there is sunflower oil in there, which is used constantly, dripping down to the bottom of the box along the metal grate is inevitable. Cleaning such a structure is extremely inconvenient.
Of course, everyone is guided by their own reasons when ordering and operating such a device, which can have all sorts of modifications. All that remains is to decide and choose the necessary type of filling for the mini-box for yourself.
Types of bottle holders for the kitchen
In fact, all bottle holders are very similar to each other. Unless, of course, you take into account the original works. Therefore, understanding them, as well as making a choice, is not difficult.
By installation method
According to the principle of the device:
- built-in – we see these in every modern kitchen set. They are made in the form of regular grilles, or with other filling, for example, with cup holders for spoons or with a panel for lids;
- autonomous. The name itself speaks for itself. Such designs are of a modular type that can be delivered to an existing set at any time, and can also “exist” without it independently in any corner of the kitchen. A striking example is modular kitchen systems from IKEA.
Both structures can be assembled and installed independently.
The design of the bottle holder was originally invented for storing wine. The first models were bulky and could take up the entire basement. Later, smaller versions migrated to walls, cabinets and kitchen islands. In Russia, bottle containers are most often used to store oils, sauces and spices. However, you can find anything you want in them.
They also order special fillings for spoons, ladle, small pots, lids, cereals, dry spices, canned foods, towels, baking sheets and other things necessary for every housewife. Some people even manage to store household chemicals in them. There are non-standard models that look like regular drawers - a great option for those who have a lot of different bottles. It all depends on the requirements and imagination of the customer.
"Number of floors"
A standard bottle holder, as many people imagine it, has two tiers. If desired, you can find three or four separate models with different heights. For “fans” of such cabinets, you can make entire columns more than a meter high.
Today, the entire Internet is excited by the interesting design of a retractable bottle holder made of wood, located in a narrow space behind the refrigerator. Saving useful space and using unclaimed space behind equipment. This option is suitable for kitchens of any size, and you can also make it yourself.
Where are the bottle holders located?
Not only the ease of use of it, but also, in principle, the relevance of its use in the kitchen depends on where the bottle holder is located. Therefore, before purchasing, it is advisable to clearly determine where it will be located.
Upper and lower cabinets
Near the hob or sink in the lower drawers - these are the most common locations for bottle holders. Of course, this is also influenced by the nature of the filling.
Wine bottle holder
For those who do not want to bend over every time for frequently used utensils or products, place this design in the upper cabinets. The solution is non-standard and more suitable for tall owners.
Another location option is the middle zone between the upper and lower cabinets. Yes, in the middle of the set such a cabinet will look awkward, but near the refrigerator or pencil case it’s quite laconic. One of the disadvantages is that such a cabinet “eats” the work surface. But everything you need is always at hand.
Separate column cabinets for tall bottle holders for the kitchen
Columns, or sliding cabinets, are an independent storage system. They can be made as a single structure, or have several drawers.
You can order a similar cabinet as a built-in headset unit. It is also possible to purchase it separately and install it yourself. At the same time, the choice of facades for such ready-made cabinets is quite large.
Large bottle bottle next to the refrigerator
The most convenient placement of such a column cabinet is next to the refrigerator. Quite a convenient element of the headset. You can easily place all your jars, canned goods, alcohol in it, and you never know what else you can put in there. It all depends on the size. Typically, the height varies from 1200 to 1450 mm, while the width of the facade is 300 mm. The filling can be different - from three to six standard shelves for bottles, the presence of closers for smooth closing, additional storage elements for small items, regular shelves supplemented by drawers.
Bottlemaker Titan Arena
Purchasing such a full-size bottle holder is really expensive. For example, a bottle holder for the kitchen with a height of 1200 mm, a front width of 300 mm and four regular shelves of the Titan Arena brand will have a price of 30,000 rubles.
If desired, you can assemble a similar structure yourself from ordinary furniture material. All that remains is to find the appropriate content and carefully study the video master class presented below.
Features of bottle holders for the kitchen of different sizes
Another classification of cargo, and determining for many kitchen sets, is size. Let's look at the standard models of bottle holders, which are most often built into small but functional sets of Russian kitchens.
Bottle holders for the kitchen 200 mm with closer
Cargos with a base width of 200 mm or more are intended for large kitchens. The decent width of the shelves allows you to store in such a cabinet not only many bottles, but also various kitchen items and products.
Cargo drawing for a 200 mm façade
Compared to conventional cabinets, they save space, and at the same time, they are practically equal in capacity, especially if we consider cargo with three or more tiers.
Kitchen bottle holders for the kitchen 150 mm with closer
Medium-sized bottle holders have a base width from 150 mm to 200 mm. The most practical designs are those with a side mounting method or as free-standing headset elements. The presence of a closer ensures smooth closing of the drawer. It is also worth keeping in mind that the presence of such accessories increases the cost of cargo.
Regular bottle holders for the kitchen 100 mm with closer
100 mm is the optimal width of the bottle holder in a narrow or simply compact kitchen set. But even such a small area is enough to accommodate various bottles and small kitchen items, such as baking trays. Two-tier cargo of this width are the most popular, as they are the embodiment of low cost and functionality.
Narrow bottle holder
If, during operation, such a cabinet turns out to be “not enough”, due to the versatility of the design and fastening, you can order another one or buy a separate structure.
How to make a bottle holder out of wood
Cargo made from laminated chipboard is somewhat bulky, at least the narrow models. Wooden analogues are more compact and neat, and the use of plywood (preferably waterproof) will reduce the cost and speed up production. In addition, plywood is usually stronger than many types of wood available, so 10mm thick sheets can be used without losing strength.
Assemble the frame of the future cargo filling without one of the sidewalls.
- tabletop - 60x20 cm;
- side walls - 70x52 cm;
- bottom 52x20 cm;
- back wall made of fiberboard - 20x70 cm.
Inside, install wooden or plywood shelves every 10 cm.
All that remains is to make the façade:
- Mark the board 20x70 cm in accordance with the location of the shelves.
- Use a jigsaw to cut out the holes.
- Process sharp corners, for example, with a hand router.
- Sand, paint, and after the finishing layer has completely dried, secure the facade to the frame from the inside.
See the photo for the finished bottle block, assembled without accessories.

Which bottle holder is better to buy for the kitchen?
For a kitchen set, its functionality is first and foremost important, and only then – beauty and style. This also applies to the bottle holder. Its effective use directly depends on how correctly it is selected. Let's look at the basic principles that you should rely on when selecting bottle holder designs.
According to the size and number of bottle holder shelves in the kitchen set
There are basic parameters for selecting cargo for a headset that need to be thought through in advance.
- Size. To store a bottle of oil and small spices, a 100 mm bottle holder is sufficient. If you plan to place detergents and cleaning supplies there, then it is better to opt for medium-width cargo - 150 mm.
Cabinets 200 mm wide can easily accommodate cereals and other products. In wider bottle holders you can store entire sets.
- Number of shelves. Standard cargo has two shelves. The lower one is for tall bottles, the upper one is for small containers.
Three-tier designs are convenient for those who constantly keep many small containers with spices and sauces on hand. There are also single-tier bottle holders, where on the top of the basket there is space for towels and napkins, and in the bottom - for tall containers.
Note! If the fittings are of high quality, then the height of the existing shelves can be adjusted independently.
By mounting method
From the wide range of kitchen bottle holders, only two types of fastening can be distinguished:
- lower. Relevant for wide baskets that can withstand heavy filling weight. Allows placement in any part of the kitchen unit.
- lateral. This installation method is relevant for cargo with a width of no more than 2500 mm. It features more flexible adjustment of facades and reliable fixation of fittings.
As for the independent collection and installation of bottle holders, there are no obstacles, either for one or for the other type.
Methods for attaching a bottle holder
You can attach the basket in different ways.
- Side mounting.
The size of a retractable bottle holder attached to a kitchen unit should be no more than 20 cm. In order not to overload the load-bearing elements, using a larger width is not recommended. Before installation, you should take measurements to determine which cabinet the structure will be installed on. - Fastening at the bottom. This option is more reliable and stable. The retractable bottle holder is located between the kitchen cabinets.
In this case, it is better to place the cargo near the stove in the kitchen.The element will move forward; if you place oil, spices, and products in it, you can significantly simplify the cooking process. You can choose bottle holders with a fruit drawer.
The nuances of making a bottle holder for a kitchen set
Assembling a bottle holder with a side right mount has a simple and intuitive algorithm of actions.
| Illustration | Description of action |
| We unpack the cargo. In addition to the kitchen “device” itself, it comes with fasteners (euro screws) and guides, which may already be attached to the base. |
| We set the base so that the guide is not extended, but is in the zero position. The top level of the basket should not protrude. A small recess into the cabinet is allowed, but not more than 2 mm. Using a ruler, measure the scattering from the edge of the cabinet to the first hole. You need to remove the guides to secure them to the cabinet. To do this, move the fixing pin down until it clicks and carefully remove the guides. |
| We make markings based on measurements for fasteners. Please note that the base must be located at a height of at least 30 mm from the bottom of the cabinet. Using the markings, we drill holes for the Euroscrews. |
| We fasten the base mounts. |
| We extend the guides and “put” the mesh in place. We check how correctly and smoothly it extends. If everything is fine, screw the second side of the cabinet, put the cabinet in place and mount the facade. |
Important! To level out the smooth running of the bottle holder, tighten the flag located on the back side of the structure. You can use a screwdriver for this. Leave the flag in a position in which the base will extend smoothly and without interference.
The video below will tell you how to assemble a side-mounted bottle holder and how to adjust it correctly.
If you need to remove the bottle holder in the kitchen set, then by performing this algorithm of actions in reverse order, you can easily complete your mission. But how much it is needed in the kitchen is up to each housewife to decide. Fashion is fashion, and everyone has their own criteria for comfort and convenience.
Mechanisms and types of cargo baskets for the kitchen
There are several types of kitchen cargo on the market for useful furniture novelties:

Retractable bottle holder for the kitchen: functions and location features
What is a bottle holder for the kitchen, or as it is also called cargo? This is a drawer with a narrow shelf, equipped with special closers. This type of cabinet is very convenient and functional for storing various items in the kitchen: bottles, jars, cereals, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. And this opening and closing system allows you to protect items from tipping over, thereby ensuring their complete safety, and also relieves the housewife from annoying slamming sounds from cabinet doors.
Depending on what you plan to use the retractable bottle holder for the kitchen for, there are different options for its location:
- if you use the bottle holder for its intended purpose, then the best place to place it will be the dining area;
- if it is for storing food additives or storing frying pans and saucepans, then it would be correct to place it near the stove;
- if for storing cleaning and detergents, bags and towels - near the sink or washing machine;
- for storing seasonings and spices - in the lower or upper part of the kitchen unit. Storing spices in this way will allow you to keep them in a certain order and protect them from kitchen dirt;
- You can use a place near the refrigerator to store various jars, bottles, cereals, and cereals.
What is a bottle holder and why is it needed in the kitchen?
The storage system is a narrow roll-out base with two or three levels for placing containers - bottles with oils, cardboard packages with cereals, containers with household chemicals and cleaning products. However, even ready-made options have various devices for convenient placement of other items - from rolls of paper towels, foil, cling film to pot lids and baking sheets. And if you make a bottle holder for the kitchen with your own hands, you can completely adapt it to your needs!
It is very convenient to install a bottle holder (or, as it is also called, cargo) in bottlenecks in the kitchen. For example, between the refrigerator and the stove, as a protective “buffer” between two working appliances in a Khrushchev-era kitchen.
In a large and spacious kitchen, cargo also finds “its” place. Typically, bottle holders are placed near the sink or on both sides of the stove, where they are really needed. And paired placement gives a certain symmetry in the overall design of the kitchen set, which always looks very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Dimensions of a bottle holder in a kitchen set - choose dimensions
On the supply market, there are a number of possible options for the location of bottle holders built into the kitchen unit (this is an excellent opportunity to use space that might not be used at all).
Its dimensions vary from 100 mm to 450 mm (width). They directly depend on which part of the furniture fittings the bottle holder will be built into, what will be stored in it and how much additional space your kitchen set has.
Note that if the size of your kitchen is small, then it would be preferable to use narrow systems with generally accepted standards of 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm with side fastening. If the dimensions of the kitchen allow you to fit a bottle holder of a more capacious design with dividers into the set, then it is better to give preference to wider options for its design (from 200 mm to 450 mm).
If you don’t particularly trust manufacturers of kitchen sets or are simply used to and like to do everything with your own hands, then why not make your own bottle holder for the kitchen. For this:
- decide on the size of the structure and the location of its installation;
- create a schematic drawing of a bottle holder with the indicated dimensions;
- choose the material and fastening system that will suit your design. Let us note that in appearance you should not particularly distinguish the bottle holder from the kitchen set, but it is better to use the same material and color from which the entire kitchen is made. This will help you maintain its attractive and harmonious appearance;
- cut cargo elements from blanks. You will need them to make trays and the body;
- fasten the necessary structural parts together;
- install the fastening system. Note that a system with closers is often chosen.
Your bottle holder for the kitchen is ready!

Homemade cargo (DIY pull-out basket)
Homemade cargo (DIY pull-out basket)
A retractable basket (mesh) in the kitchen, or, as it is commonly called, cargo, is a convenient thing in any kitchen. Built into the kitchen section. Cargo is usually made of a metal rod in the form of a mesh, which is installed on various kinds of guides. There are nets, both full and partial extension, one-, two-story, chrome-plated, enameled, painted - different... each manufacturer offers its own options. What is called, who is into what. In general, there is a choice. Every housewife would like to have such a thing in her kitchen. I pulled it out and everything was in full view, this is not like raking out from the farthest corner of the cabinet, until you get to the right thing, you need to shovel all the deposits. All the advantages, so to speak, are obvious. Every housewife would like to have such a thing in her kitchen, BUT... not everyone has the financial ability to install such a thing in her kitchen. Prices for such nets start from 900 rubles. for the simplest one, and this does not count the money that will be charged for its installation. In general, everyone has their own reasons to temporarily abandon cargo... But the article is not about the lack of opportunity, but precisely about the opportunities. If you get a little imaginative, you can find interesting options for how to change the “awl for soap”, but still have both the awl and the soap. Those. how to replace expensive cargo with cheaper cargo without loss of functionality and even with benefit. The best decision, as always, is to do everything yourself. Purchased store cargo:
The width of cargo pull-out baskets may vary. In depth, in most cases they range from 460 to 510 mm. this size depends more on the invention of the manufacturer than on any ergonomics. But they can vary in width and height, from baskets designed for additional sections with a width of 150 mm. and up to full-length sizes, per section up to 900 mm. Their height is the same, from the baskets built into the lower sections under the sink, 160 mm high. up to “mesh cabinets” up to 1400 mm high. However, most sizes are designed for the standard height of the lower kitchen section = 720 mm.
Everything is made from several cut pieces of laminated chipboard, connected by confirmations. The entire structure is mounted on standard full extension ball telescopic guides.
If desired, you can use guides complete with the closer mechanism. This will give the homemade cargo more antlers or something... (I couldn’t find the right words). The increase in price in the version with a door closer is quite a bit; a set of such a door closer costs about $2 US. It is installed simply, the block with springs is screwed with two self-tapping screws to the side of the section, and the trigger pawl is screwed to the wall of the cargo. To hide the mechanism from view, it can be placed under the bottom of the cargo.

Indicating which ends of the parts would be nice to cover with edge tape.
Of all the accessories, you will only need a set of guides, several self-tapping screws 3.5x16, 4x30 and confirmations with plugs. Self-tapping screws 4x30 in the amount of 4 pcs. needed for attaching the facade to the front part of the cargo.
This is what you should end up with:
And most importantly, the versatility of this idea is that in this way you can make any human-friendly design to suit any individual requirements. For example, a bunch of different cells for different small things, it is also convenient to use this design in wardrobes. And if you make it a little wider, you’ll get a super comfortable section for shoes. He put forward this and each pair of shoes in its own box. (later I will design such a thing for shoes and post it on the website). By the way, you can try using a similar design in the upper kitchen section, for example, a panel for various spice jars...

Cargo cabinet for the kitchen - advantages
What is cargo? To put it simply, a cargo closet is a metal basket made of small diameter rods coated with chrome or special paint. The basket moves, as a rule, on rails, so that you can almost completely remove it from the cabinet in which it is installed. The principle of operation is very similar to a drawer in a kitchen set, but they differ in that when taking out cargo, we take out all its contents at the same time, and not individual sections, as is the case with drawers. This basket is sometimes equipped with high walls; this design allows you to store quite tall objects in it.
Basket boxes also have other benefits. This is a very functional solution when it comes to organizing narrow spaces where the use of regular drawers is ineffective because the narrow space of the cabinet makes it much more difficult to access the products stored in it if you use the version with static shelves.
Cargo kitchen fittings must be of high quality, especially in large drawers, only then will the system be durable.
Examples of using cargo
Sometimes it turns out that when designing a kitchen set, there is little space left for a narrow drawer, which is very convenient to use for storing bottles. This solution has its own charm, but not everyone likes open shelves that collect dust. The cargo system will ideally cope with this task.
One option is to install such a system in close proximity to the stove or sink; now this narrow space can be conveniently used to place bottles of household chemicals.
When it is near the stove, we can put oil, sauce bottles, sugar packs, flour, or other products that we often use while cooking.
Tall cargo cabinet
It comes in handy if you need more space for food or need to maximize space in a small kitchen. The system allows you to conveniently and efficiently place a variety of cooking utensils, products and kitchen utensils. Cargo of this size can be placed in tall cabinets or near the refrigerator built into the unit.
The advantage of this box is that it is equipped with convenient baskets that are accessible from all sides. However, if you want to make it into a home pantry, you need to use quality slides that can handle heavy loads.
