    1/2 inch gaps
    So I recently built a 28 qt rack and my Iris 41 qt tubs sort of fit in there sideways but they have a gap at the top of about a half an inch. Do you think an adult female could get out of such a gap?
    Thanks

    she will most likely be able to start to get out and bend the tub and make her way out, you could buy some 1/2 plywood and put it on each shelf to shim up each tub

    She will make it her mission to get out with a 1/2" :rofl: Can you pull out the slots and maybe re-drill them so there tighter fitting over the tubs?

    We ended up putting 2 sheets of some 1\8 inch pegboard and now the tub fits perfectly. I also retaped the heat tape so nothing would be in between the tub and tape. It seems to be working, I am going to monitor it for a day or so before I pit her in
