Hey all, I was looking to see if anyone had any storage suggestion ideas for this Dead space. I have behind my refrigerator. I'm only able to reach in. Probably about 3 ft or so, but the space is about 4 ft wide by 7 ft long. The floor of this space is also the ceiling of my basement, so I can't see it supporting very much weight without being reinforced. Looking for ideas if you have any, thanks!

Do you know if a trolley or track product I can install there? I'm in really stages of research, but it does seem that closing that hole and accessing it from the left-hand doorway is a good option if I can figure out how to "move that space" out using some kind of wheels or bearings. Thanks!

I’d start with a search for “unistrut” tracks as these are pretty standard across multiple industries and applications, which makes them cheap, then add “wheel trolly”.

One track down each side 4 trolleys per board and make each board two and a bit feet long and you can have 3 down there. Attach them together with some webbing and a couple of snap fasteners, so you can pull each board out and remove it or just let it dangle down the wall.
