I built and bought shelving in the basement. There’s hundreds of jars down there....venison, three types of beans, spaghetti sauce, tomato juice, carrots, potatoes, pickled beets, grape juice, apple sauce, and peas.

my grandmother on the old homstead had what she called the root celler was a hole in the ground with a roof covered with dirt with a trap type door and a set of stairs was dirt walls and dirt floor with alot of wooden shelfs for all the canning jars and a huge potastoe bin had to use a flashlight or a kerosene lanturn to find anything worked for over 50 plus years

If you have the room, I would watch for some big box store going out of business and by there shelving because they can hold the weight and take up a lot less room. JMO

good shelves you build in the basement put a little strip around the perimeter of the shelf so that they can't be slid off easily.
store them up side down when empty
the rings if you take a 5 inch stick of wood and drill a hole in the middle put it on a length of cordage and you can slip it through the bands turn the stick and hang a large batch of rings
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Like others basement shelves. We store all of ours upside down to keep dust out. Seems like a daily rotation of canned food going upstairs to be eaten and clean jars going back down to the shelves.

We store 300 to 400 empty jars on the same shelves that full jars occupy in the climate controlled basement. The only difference being we stack them back into boxes and place on top of each other. These shelves are very strong and are strap banded to the stud walls to prevent tipping over.

On a related note, I have found canning lids back in stock on two separate occasions. Picked up 34 dozen Kerr regular sized lids at $2.18 a dozen at Walmart and 14 dozen wide mouth sized Ball lids at $3.19 a dozen at Menard's with their 11% off sale.

I always save the boxes the jars come in. And that's the best way to store either full or empty jars.
