How Do You Construct A Wine Cellar Rack?
Building a wine cellar is a terrific way to increase the value of your home while adding an elegant touch to a room or area. Some homeowners choose to build wine cellars off their living rooms. Others might put a wine cellar in a kitchen pantry. No matter where you put it, you’re going to want sturdy racks to protect and display your wine collection. Determine the dimensions of your wine cellar. You’ll obviously want to construct a wine rack that will fit into those dimensions. Also, consider how high your ceilings are and whether you want to stack wines all the way to the ceiling, as you’ll need to either buy or construct a ladder so you can reach higher wines. Use sturdier wood (like two-by-four planks) for the primary construction to ensure that the rack can support the weight of the wine. Flourishes or spacings in between wines can be about 1 to 3 inches to conserve space, so long as there are struts in place over the length of the rack (roughly one major support every 24 inches).
