It is pretty basic, just 2X4 risers and 2x2 dividers. A couple measurements of the bottles and it will be easy enough to knock a couple shorter ones together. Mine will be suspended from the ceiling in my crawlspace instead.
Thanks for sharing that!

I like that. Simply awesome. I've got a lot of 2 liters filled with water and rice/ beans. This looks like the ticket as far as storage goes. I think I would bolt it to the concrete down in the bunker.

I found that to be an issue as well. I tried to make one that stacked the bottles verticalling in four post "silos". However the side tension was so great if you hit a snag the whole thing tips. Royal PITA. So I switched to a moving base platform with two x two alternating stacks of those plastic soda stack bottoms you see soda trucks hauling them in. The alternation keeps them locked in and the stacking trays keeps the weight distributed in even levels. It also makes unloading a "unit" of 2 liters quick. Not saying this is bad but I find my way is safer and no frame work to build..Originally Posted by slowz1k

If you took a series of those, and screwed them together into a wooden frame, you could have say three - side by side on the bottom, enough of a gap to fill with bottles, and then another layer of cases and bottles on top. above that another series screwed into place. repeat.
I wouldn't be too worried about a caster breaking, as we buy casters rated for over 10000 pounds apiece. just rate them to what you need. I'd be more worried about rolling across a rock, and stopping it dead, while momentum carried through
If you aquired enough of those flats, could you put 3 together, and drill pop bottle sized holes in the top 2? then on their sides, the three would sleeve the bottles
