Like I said earlier I bought this one. The one I help make we used rollers and brides. Next time I would spray then outside while they were hanging on something. Probably have cardboard or a tarp behind it.

There are three types of panel -- cattle, goat and hog. You can get them with or withoput the small spaces at the bottom, which are used to keep young animals in. I've bought lots and lots and lots of these for the farm. They come galvanized. About $19 a panel, and they go on sale at $17 sometimes. I believe the goat panels are slightly higher priced IIRC. I buy mostly cattle panels.

The cattle panels have bigger openings, which means you can store bigger bottles if you have the need.

THANKS for the pics. Mine will have to be freestanding, since my walls are concrete. But it gives me an idea of ways to go. Just another idea I had on my own that I Googled and found out had been done already. LOL...

I was wondering about your price. I think I paid about $45 for the goat panel. It is 16' long.

Looks good! I know what I'm doing next free weekend, thanks for the pics

This is a great idea. I've been looking around for affordable wine racks for my crawl space/wine cellar. It's only 40"h x 40"w so one of these would work pretty good. I have cinder block walls behind it so I may need to molly-bolt it to the wall or something so it doesn't tip with the weight of the bottles. Thanks for the pics guys!

Have you considered my Skid Row Wine Rack? It's cheap, easy, and can be made to any height you need. You can find the design on the Skeeter Pee website. The link is under: "More Items By Lon" If you click on the actual image a couple of times, it should expand to a larger size which makes it easier to see some of the detail.

You can make the panel rack any size you need, as well, with a pair of bolt cutters.

I did look at the skid row racks you had on your site and it would have worked good because I know of a place that gives out free skids. My only concern was that in the long run it might not be a good idea to use wood where I want the racks. That area of the basement has known to get damp from time to time and I don't want them rotting. I've had cardboard boxes go moldy and yuck in that closet a few years ago. I since cleaned it out, painted the walls with kilz, and built a platform floor to store anything on. After that I only stored extra pots/pans/ odd kitchen appliances that I had no room for in the kitchen. I know it's not the best spot to store wine but it's pretty much the only area in the house I have to use. To make sure no mold spores get to the corks of my wine I am using wax and a foil wrap on top of the bottles. I hope this is enough to keep them safe. Thanks for the rack idea though. When I get to tractor supply I'm going to pick up some of that fencing

I think the easiest way to paint the rack would be to get some cardboard from boxes, lay it down on the garage floor, set the wire on top, then use a medium roller with Rustoleum in your favorite color to do one side. Let it dry, flip, and do the other side.

Alternately, you could try laying the wire up against sawhorses, painting one side, putting on rubber gloves, swapping the paint side to lean against the sawhorses, and painting the other side. That might be more effiicient. I'd do it outside on grass, which will outgrow any paint stains.

Please, folks who are doing this, post up your pix if you can. It'll be a bit before I have time to do mine...but it is on the list!
