    Vision vs. ARS vs. Freedom Breeder racks...

    Hello everyone,

    It seems like NO ONE is using vision racks for their balls. Why not? They look great to me and they seem like they heat well. I know they are not metal but I am seriously considering getting one. What are your experiences with these racks? Thanks!

    I have experience with ARS and Freedom and id highly recommend ARS. The Freedom racks have too much ventilation with the entire top being mesh.

    Although given a choice id always choose plastic racks over the sliding rail metal type.

    I use only Vision racks but to put them up against ARS is a bad beat lol. ARS is the best in my opinion, but as I stated I use Vision. They are located in CA and are at most of the shows I attend so there is no shipping. I have noticed a bit of trouble keeping the humidity up in these racks but I house every BP I own in them.

    Re: Vision vs. ARS vs. Freedom Breeder racks...

    I use the vision racks but i modified them a bit. I put fiberglass panels on the sides and back to keep the heat in.
    I also upgraded the heating system a little. The heat cable that comers with it is not enough to heat all the racks. So i ordered the longest ones from big apple and use 2 per rack.
    Other then that i love them.
    Im planning on buying another soon.

    The one other thing with the metal racks is that sometimes the tubs wont slide perfectly... its very annoying to have to refill a water bowl and change the paper 3 times because you keep spilling every time you try to slide the tub bakc in lol. Thats why i prefer the enclosed plastic racks.
