Preparation
- 1x6 boards, 16" per water bottle storage rack
- 1x2 boards - you'll need three times the desired width of each rack
- 1-5/8" trim screws (6 per rack) or 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue
- 120 grits sand paper or sanding block
- mounting tape or similar if stacking
- Paint or stain if desired
Cut list is per 1 water bottle storage rack-
- 2 - 1x6 @ 8" long
- 3 - 1x2 @ Desired length of water bottle rack MINUS 1-1/2"
Instructions
Step 1
Determine how long your water bottle organizer will be. Cut 1x2s to this length MINUS 1-1/2"
Per each water bottle rack, cut two 1x6 @ 8" long.
How to cut? The easiest way is with a chop saw or miter saw. You can also use a circular saw or jigsaw.
Sand the cut edges if rough with 120 grit sanding block.
Step 2
Build the water bottle storage rack by screwing or nailing the 1x6 pieces to the 1x2 pieces.
If screwing - one screw per joint is fine.
If nailing, use glue and two nails per joint. Use an 18 gauge brad nailer.
The outer 1x2 pieces are vertical, the center 1x2 piece is flat.
Step 3
If stacking, use mounting tape to hold multiple water bottle storage racks together.
