Looks good. You should put up an instructional video or tell us exactly how you did it and what your using

i will do a video when i am done. but basically it is six foot tall holds 11 28 quart tubs. here we cant get 4 x 8 sheets of melamine so i have to buy melamine shelves. i us the ones that are 16" by 10' i have the guys at lowes cut them into 24" lengths. then i buld the base install the 1 x4 sides and start stacking i used cds to get my spacing. i still have to put the back on but im waiting on my heat tape to arrive. all in all it cost about 75 for material, 45 for tubs, 30 for heat tape, so for about 150 you can build an 11 tub rack.

looks good.........my concern will be when you put the heat on the back with the rack being open its going to lose a lot of heat through the side.

i thought of that so we are going to insulate the sides.
