Fridge baskets?

My top loading fridge was two wire baskets at the front. We normally only use one because they block access to the lower part. They are plastic covered, and the plastic has blown in places, leading to rust.

I'd like to replace them, possibly with a stacking pair so the rear one could be moved out of the way. Stainless bar would be good, but a solid sheet would work if it had drainage holes. I don't think my welding skills are up to this, but perhaps I'll give it a try.

Before I go down this route, any suggestions on construction, or fabricators?

We used Home Bargain clear plastic storage bins, they fitted the std Beneteau fridge spot on?

I got several different sizes from my local caravan shop. Cheap and good quality.
These were steel with white plastic covering, and a couple of small ones that screwed to the wall for butter and small jars.

Got two nylon/plastic ones with fold down handles so they can be lifted out from Amazon. These square stack on each other and fit in the fridge perfectly.
