Building a wine cellar. What is the best wood to use for the walls and racks?
Hi Chris -

seller for wine cellars as the species we use is naturally decay and moisture resistant. I've included some pictures of cellars we've done.
We also offer free design consultations. You can fill out our questionnaire and one of our designers can design a wine cellar that fits based on your dimensions: https://www
