In order for us to provide a cellar layout that meets your needs and budget, we need to clearly understand your design expectations and storage requirements. Please take the time to fill out this form as completely as possible. The more information you can provide to us, the more efficient and accurate the design process will be.

If you have any questions on completing this form, or have questions about specifications, proper room preparation or any other details, please don't hesitate to contact us, toll-free, at 1-888-687-2517. If you would rather complete our printed version and return it to us via fax, you can download our Printable Cellar Design Questionnaire (you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the file).

* 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? 

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.
