The perfect garden accessory
Spiral Cellars has launched its latest cellar package, the Garden Cellar. Combining the newly developed weather-proof External Trap Door with the components of the Original Spiral Cellar, the Garden Cellar is a convenient option for those looking to avoid ripping up their internal flooring.
Perfect for storing dinner-party wines and longer-term cellaring, there is also plenty of room for storing garden tools and equipment, making it the ultimate garden shed.
The Garden Cellar is designed to remain watertight and as it is dug into the ground and made up of individual concrete modules, it can be located in almost any garden setting. It is installed by Spiral Cellars’ expert in-house teams and is fitted in exactly the same way as Spiral Cellars’ other cellar packages, but the External Trap Door features a unique drainage system to ensure the cellar remains weather-proof throughout the year. The cellar itself is surrounded by a reinforced concrete ring to maintain the integrity of the space and withhold the ground pressure. It is lined with a waterproof bag and fitted out with curved grey concrete modules for a rustic look ideal for the garden. The cellar depth can range from between 2m to 3m dependent on how many bottles of wine and tools are to be stored.
Externally the trap door can be finished with the same flooring as the surrounding area including stone tiles, artificial grass or even decking. The door is opened using a mechanical system and the switch is placed within the property or an outdoor building to ensure it is secure.
The Spiral Cellars system uses the earth’s natural attributes and a clever ventilation system to maintain the right temperature, humidity and level of light for storing wine. Its position in the ground means the cellar remains at optimum temperatures and the ventilation and concrete construction maintain a humidity of approximately 70 per cent.
