Great re-use idea! A friend was discarding an expensive, but old refrigerator. I asked for the bins which I use to wash things outside, and I asked for the wire shelves.
I immediately used them to keep squirrels from digging up morning glory seedlings, which they do every year. The sun and water can get through until the vines are big enough to hold on for themselves. I used to tie on screening, but that was a pain. This is so easy!

I have been doing this same thing for a few years now. It is a wonderful way to both recycle and keep plants safe.
I'm not sure if you could do this with refrigerator shelves, but we took old wire shelves from an oven that was no longer working and using concrete blocks, made an outdoor grill.
I use an old oven rack when we go to the campground to cook over the firepit with. The one that is already there is gross.
I use my old oven shelves to stand large planters on so they can drain properly.

They work great for home made smokers. Can also use stove oven grates for the same purpose as listed.
