Home wine storage is a modern necessity for many wine drinkers. Although temperature-controlled alternatives are popular, other choices are available. With all the options for storing small amounts of wine (6 to 12 bottles), artistic wine holders serve a dual purpose--wine storage and artful decor. Tendril wine holders are wrought iron wine racks, which resemble a growing grapevine with each bottle fitting into an individual tendril. They are a unique and beautiful way to display wine bottles. Here are tips on hang a tendril wine rack. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Decide if the rack will hang directly from the ceiling or hang from a wall-mounted bracket.
2. Purchase the tendril wine rack with the specific finish, rod extender or mounting bracket. Most racks of this type are priced between $35 -$150, depending on capacity and finish options.
3. Use the stud finder to locate the ceiling header or wall stud. Mounting brackets are always installed in a ceiling header joist or stud. Mark this area with a carpenter's pencil.
4. For a ceiling-mounted method of installation, use a small ladder to reach the ceiling surface. Drill a 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch hole to start the ceiling extender rod or eye hook. Hand turn the extender until it fits snugly into the header. The manufacturer may provide a molly screw to anchor the eye hook. Screws of this type should be pushed or hammered gently into the hole until the head spring activates behind the drywall. Attach the top tendril of the wine holder to the extender rod.
5. For a wall-mounted method of installation, brackets can be hung with a drill or screwdriver (with the included screws) into the marked stud areas. Attach the top tendril of the wine holder to the hook on the wall-mounting brackets.
