I have a walk-in pantry that I need to put open shelving in, but don’t know where to start. I would like floor-to-ceiling shelves but I have never attempted this. I’m good with tools but not with design, apparently. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Start by thinking about the ergonomics. Stand in the middle of the pantry and imitate grabbing for things off the shelves, picking things up of the floor, etc. I'm 6'4" tall so a high shelve is nothing big to me but it is to others.
Make your shelves adjustable so you can remove them or add them as needed. For construction ideas, go visit a place that sells closet organizers. They have all sorts of different designs that you can get ideas from.

Thanks, Steve
I was thinking of physical plans when I wrote the message, but your reply makes sense in that it will have to be a "custom" job since there are no specific plans for my pantry. Thanks a ton........brillo............
