Pre-drill bottom board with holes then take sanitized used corks held with galvanized nails as doweling?

It seems to me like you guys are trying to fix something thats not broke. The rack works great without adding anything to it.

It works great yes! But when it starts to get 7 - 8 feet hight (10" deep x 4' wide) it seems a little unstable. If someone is near to the rack (like my kid) I don't want it to get bumped and fall over.
It doesn't hurt to add a little safety.

I'd recommend that any racks higher than waist high, be attached to the wall for stability. Squashed kids and broken wine bottles can spoil your day.

You should be screwing this to the wall about every six inches or so as your building it

Awesome,,, just awesom. There has to be some amazing reward to be given for great ideas like this. Can't wait to put mine together. I want to keep it looking a little rustic so I will use some older pallets and I got several sets of deer antlers that were collected over the years that I will use to hold a few bottles off on the sides of the main rack.

Glad the design (and the price) works for you. Make sure you post a picture of it when you're done.

[lugnutz]

Definetely, I will. I am having to work away from home right now, but I will be working on it on the weekends so may take a few to completely finish.

anybody know if this will hold the 1.5 liter bottles? I'm getting a lot of them for free

If the gap between layers isn't quite big enough you could add strips of wood between layers, maybe 1x2's or 2x2's, whichever made the distance right, and make it work just fine.
In the first post Lon said that some of them are tall enough for 1.50's and most fit the .750's just fine... just looked back. So you'd need to take a tape measure or a couple wine bottles with you while you search for your pallets. I can see it now, walking down alleys with a wine bottle in each hand!

Most pallets use 2x4's to support the platform. For reference a 2x4 is 3-1/2". If the 1.5L is less than that, it should fit.

When I used to work in the printing industry, it was common to get sheet stock on skids with tall runners similar to the stack of skids in this image. If you have a large print house near you, you might check with them. They make nice racks because the skids are made a standard size for the standard sized sheets of paper, they only have decking on one side of the runners, and the runners are high enough for 1.5 liter bottles. Another benefit is that the deck boards are very close together (so that the printers don't get "wavy paper") and that makes a nice surface for the bottles.

Wow, I would have expected these to look kinda junky (I work in a warehouse with pallets all day) but they really look nice! I guess if you find some pallets in good condition (the ones I work with are NOT in good condition) then you really can get it to look very nice!

I have built this wine rack in my basement last year. I thought that I had seen the plans on this website, but might have been mistaken.
We were invited to a club members house, and in giving us a tour of his basement, he had these types of racks.

They are constructed of "goat panels" that are fencing material for goats. They are available in the midwest and other areas from
Tractor Supply. I'm sure that other livestock type supply stores would be able to supply them as well.
The only drawback is, that the panels are in 4ft x 16ft sections. So when you go to pick it up, you need to know the heighth at which to trim it off.
Then it will fit into the back of your pickup better.

The fence panel sold for around $35, but sure allows alot of space for storing bottles.

Dan:

Are you saying that TSC will cut the panels down for you at the store, or do you have to do it yourself?
