    Exclamation Rack system problems!!

    So im planning to build my first rack this weekend i almost have everything i need
    the only thing i dont have is the tubs but im having problems getting the sizes
    im planning on building a 6 level rack
    and i want to have different tub sizes on the same rack something like this
    1st level- 3 16qt
    2nd level- 3 16qt
    3rd level- 2 28qt
    4th level- 2 28qt
    5th level- 2 41qt
    6th level- 2 41qt

    but the 16qt tubs arent the same heigth all others are the same
    what kind of tub do yall use when combining tubs on 1 rack?
    any special brand and where can i get it
    right now im having this problem with Sterilite

    Put the different levels in after you've put the backs and sides together. Start from the bottom up using the bins you want on each level as spacers (put a thin layer of something on top of the bin lids for a tiny bit of extra space, that way the bins wont rub). Put the levels in like that one by one and it won't matter that 16qt bins are different heights.

    That's beautiful and crazy useful-looking. Kind of wish I had those plans when I was going to build mine

    How do you wire the heating tape on a setup like that? Strip along the back no matter what, or different for adult slots vs others?
