Designline Rodded Pot Rack | Stainless Steel Drainage Shelf

Name: Designline Rodded Pot Rack | Stainless Steel Drainage Shelf
Brand: Designline
SKU: DL-PR

The Designline rodded pot rack is a wall-mounted, open-framed drainage shelf designed for storing and air-drying pots, pans, and cooking utensils in commercial kitchens. The open rod construction allows water to drain freely, making it particularly well suited to positioning above sink areas where wet equipment is stacked after washing.

In a busy kitchen environment, having a dedicated place to land freshly washed pots speeds up the washing cycle and keeps worktops and sink surrounds clear during service. The open design also means air circulates around stored items, which supports hygiene and reduces the risk of water pooling that can occur on solid shelving. The rack is available in a wide range of lengths and depths, so it can be sized to the available wall space and the volume of utensils a kitchen typically turns over.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

Integral cantilever wall brackets are pre-drilled, but fixings are not supplied — the appropriate fixings will depend on the wall construction
Longer lengths include additional support brackets, which is worth factoring in during installation planning
The rack is wall-mounted only; there is no freestanding option in this range
Wall construction and load-bearing capacity should be assessed before installation, particularly in older or partitioned kitchen builds

This rack is well suited to kitchens of most sizes — from smaller independent operations through to larger contract or hotel kitchens — where dedicated pot storage and drainage space above the sink is a practical priority. If your operation involves extremely high utensil throughput or particularly heavy stockpots, it is worth discussing load requirements before selecting a size.

If you are unsure which length and depth combination best fits your sink run or available wall space, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right length and depth for my kitchen?

The most practical approach is to measure the wall run above your sink area and select a length that fits without overhanging adjacent equipment or obstructing access. Depth selection is usually guided by the size of the pots and pans you need to store — a 300mm depth suits most standard pans, while 400mm or 500mm gives more room for larger stockpots or baking trays. If you are unsure, it helps to talk through your sink layout and typical utensil sizes before ordering.

What wall types are suitable for mounting this rack?

The bracket legs are pre-drilled for wall fixing, but fixings are not supplied, as the correct fixings depend entirely on your wall construction — solid masonry, blockwork, and studwork all require different approaches. It is important to confirm that the wall can bear the combined weight of the rack and a full load of wet pots before installation. In kitchens with tiled or clad walls, the fixing method will also need to account for the wall finish.

Is this rack suitable for very heavy stockpots or large catering volumes?

The rack is designed for general commercial pot and pan storage and is well suited to most kitchen operations. For sites with consistently high utensil throughput or unusually heavy loads — for example, large stockpots filled with liquid — it is worth discussing the intended load with us before selecting a size, as longer spans under heavy load benefit from careful bracket placement.
