* indicates required information

First, please tell us about your project

1. What is the overall intent of your cellar?

  • A showcase room
  • Simply functional storage
  • A bit of both?

2. How many bottles of wine are you planning to store? 

3. What is your timeline for completion?  *
*Our current production lead time for custom cellars is approximately 4 weeks. If you have a more urgent need, you may want to consider our Premium Cellar Series Combos

4. How would you describe your budget?

  • I'm looking for the best quality and design and price isn't the main deciding factor.
  • I'm on a tight budget and every dollar counts.
  • I'd like to be practical, but I'm willing to spend a little extra on the right design if necessary.
Tell us about your wine cellar room

5. Is this new construction or an existing room?   New construction  Existing space

6. What phase of construction are you currently in?

  • Raw space
  • Framed
  • Framed & sheetrocked
  • Ready for racking

7. What are your wall measurements? Please note, Wall D should be the wall with a door if one exists. Please provide 3 measurements: the wall on either side of the doorway and the doorway opening itself.

One of the first steps is to create a simple sketch of your room. It doesn't need to be a fancy architect's plan, just a simple line drawing with dimensions. On your drawing/sketch, please draw an overhead view of your room and label your walls, A, B, C, D, etc., indicating your door opening and the direction that the door opens.

Draw a separate sketch of each wall, being sure to indicate which wall it is. For each wall, measure the width in three places, at the bottom, the center and the top and provide the smallest measurement. We ask for the smallest of the 3 measures because not all walls are perfectly square, so this will help insure the racking will fit even at the smallest point.

Measure the ceiling heights in all corners and the center of all walls. Provide us the minimum and maximum measurements. All walls that jut out or form in should be measured from corner bead to corner bead (outside the pocket) and wall to wall (inside pocket) in the same fashion as the wall width measuring instructions, providing us the smallest measurement. Indicate exact locations of obstructions such as light switches, plumbing, overhead beams, poles, soffits, access panels, air vents etc.

As a general rule, racking should end 3” from door casings, existing light switches that are to be used, thermostats and cooling units.
