Bottle Tree

[CowboyRam]

I thought I would share my version of a bottle tree.

yes very good idea - very similar to a commercial dishwasher rack - which can also be used for filling as well - But I am sure your's is much cheaper

Yes, considering the tote I already had, and the plywood was piece left over from some remodeling job I did. My cost was just my time drilling the holes.

Nice, Assuming that this is not marine grade plywood, I would advise that you finish it. You will find that the plywood will delaminate over time.

My preference is to use EZ-DO. This is food grade polyurethane gel and really makes a nice finish.

I actually glued two pieces of paneling together. I used two pieces because I was concerned that the hardboard paneling would be weakened with the holes. Once this falls apart I will make another, or I will have a real bottling tree. IF I was to make another I would use 1/4 plywood; hardboard does not hold up well to water, but the cost was right. This contraption hold 35 bottles.

Are there nails or screws being used and what size?

Thanx...

 

[CowboyRam]

No nails or screws it just sits on top of the tote. I made it so that it hangs over the edge about and 1" to 1 1/2". I used a 1 1/2" hole saw and each hole is about 3 1/4" on center.
