Hi,

Freakie Frogon your Youtube videos i see you use Bailey and Bailey's rack designs, but you use melamine. How do you heat?


Thanks

As I am related to Freakie Frog I can partially answer. If you are refering to the baby rack we use heat strip down the back. If you are refering to the larger racks it is a 3" heat strip in the rear with a Helix

It depends the racks that use the expanded PVC use a 3" wide stripe as has been stated above. However the melamine racks use a 12" long section of 11" wide Flexwatt. The melamine tends to adsorb allot of the heat and because of that the 3" stuff wasn't keeping the temps where I like them.

I can say that I much prefer the rack design that uses the expanded PVC. The humidity control is much better, and the weight of one of the PVC rack is less than 1/4 that of a melamine rack.

If you have the resources and the skill and time build your rack using that design. I've never been happier with any of the home made racks.

Thanks for the response.

I meant the larger adult racks, sorry for the confusion.
So the expanded PVC is better than the melamine. I plan to build a 5 slot rack using that design.

Congats on the clutch to.

Caleb,
To me the PVC is a much better design but your going to find that what works for me down here in the South might not work so well for you where you are. Give it a try and see if you like it. I have really grown fond of them for the way the tubs sit and how easy they are to pull in and out. You have a greater control on the humidity factor because the holes are in the PVC and not the tubs. Also they are so much lighter so moving them is a breeze if you have to.

If you have any questions you can always Pm me or email..Just let me know if I can do anything for ya.

Best of luck and make sure you get some pics of that rack when your done.

No what you'll have to do is find a local plastic supplier in your area and purchase it from them.

Here's a tip most of these place will cut the sheets to the size you want for a small fee..and they are way more accurate than you or I could ever be.

Once again Thank You

Let me also add that the racks built with the PVC are lighter and easier to build
