I'm not good at DIY stuff, the last rack I made I was less than satisfied with because the shelves were spaced horribly and I had to run to get more wood because I kept messing up.
I need to make another, but this time, I'm determined to make it just the way I want it.
Anyway, guys I'll be using these tubs.

Sterilite 12-Qt Storage Box White:
Set of 15 bases and 15 lids
12-Qt capacity per box
Made of heavy-duty plastic
Snap-on lids
Each box measures: 16.5"L x 11.5"W x 6.25"H
Clear base
Lid color: White
I want to make it so I don't need to use the lids, I can just slide it freely and have easy access. So there would only be a small space to allow it to slide, but not too big so the snake can't escape.
I'm also adding some privacy siding, and I don't want a lot of space for the tubs to slide left and right
I'm thinking of something like this
I'm going to build it out of melamine, but I'm not sure if I should use a different material for siding and back.
I think I'll have Home Depot or Lowes pre-cut my wood so I can just assemble it, but I'm not sure what sized wood I should buy, and what the measurements of the cuts should be.
Also, I'm thinking of adding handles to the front of the tubs (mainly for a pretty effect), what should I use for those?
If you need more info, just ask.
