    any opinions on these 2 racks

    Im going to be getting a few rack systems, and i want them to last. I have T10's from AP, and i like the quality of them, so i was looking at the Economy Plastics Line 10 tub racks.
    something that i also might be interested in is the Vision Sterilite 32qt.
    Clearview Model # 1756 23" X 16" X 6" tall 10 tub rack, but i watched the asembly video, and they look kinda wobbly... does anyone have eigther of these, and what do you think about them?
    Thanks

    I have an Animal Plastics 9-slot 1755 Sterilite rack. I love it! It's build incredibly well is and has remained very secure and stable. I ordered mine with the caster wheels and belly heat, in black, if that matters at all. The router grooves in the sides and the actual shelves are nice to keep from tearing up the Flexwatt plastic coating and have a little lip on both sides to hold the Flexwatt in place with only a piece of tape at the start and end of the tape. They also have a precut hold in the back panel for a thermostat probe and a channel in the shelf to lay the wire for the probe.. Mine has held up extremely well, holds humidity and heat with no issues and if you follow the assembly directions they're nothing to put together and hold up very well.

    I have a buddy that has the vision racks.....they do seem to wobble, but don't seem to effect the animals at all....even though they do wobble, it doesn't feel as though they will fall apart.....if that makes sense....they seem strong, but wobbly......lol

    Re: any opinions on these 2 racks

    I just recently picked up a 11 rack, 28 qt vision rack and have been using it for about 2 months. I don't have a rack to compare it to as far as it being wobbly, but it is very well made and sturdy. It comes with holes on the shelves so you don't have to drill any in the tubs. I also like that the sides are not covered so I can view my balls on all four sides. The heat cable it came with is also really easy to install. Hope this helps.

    Personally, I'd go with the animal plastics. I really like the one that I have. The construction is good and it is sturdy. I did a lot of research before I purchased my racks and AP seemed like one of the best regarded rack makers as far as quality went with Freedom Breeder and ARS topping the opinion polls.

    The AP economy racks are great. Solid, and well made.
