DEMOUNTABLE
RACK
Use screw fastening instead of nailing so that rack can be diassembled as
required.
|
STACKING
RACKS Cut two sides 'B' from a timber piece 150x25x900mm DAR and to shapes shown.
Assemble as indicated using location clamp or clip. |
TALL RACKS
Very tall racks could be unstable because of height. Use standards or racking design but add a
'foot' to each side of the rack depending on space available. Use an added 'foot' to each side
of the rack depending on space available. Use an added 'foot' equal to about normal bottle
length. Use, for example, one 'foot' each end, cut to 75x50x300mm DAR. |
