| Racked warehouses are high-rise (9 stories or more are common), using brick, cement blocks or a steel clad structure, with concrete floors and tin roofs. [[Casks]] are stacked up to 8 –12 high on tall racks fitted with steel rails.

| The thinner walls and tin roofs of a racked warehouse transmit temperature changes more readily than the thicker walls and slate roofs of a [[dunnage]]. Additionally, racked warehouses can have a larger range of temperatures between the floor and roof (depending on the height).
