Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to set up a rack?

Okay, so my research the past two days has led me to believe that I need to go ahead and set up a rack. My new male is already in a tub on some shelves in a closet (the newly designated snake closet) with a UTH underneath. Just set it up, so I'm waiting for the temps to adjust. My females glass aquarium is finally heating up to 80 ambient, I moved the UTH from the side of the tank to the bottom. It's causing the glass to fog, though. I think she'd be better off in a tub. Now I need a good tutorial to go ahead and set up an efficient tub rack. I'd like it to look nice, too Clean lines, etc. I've never done any carpentry before, but I'm sure one of my coworkers could help me. Or can I just buy shelving at Target? Any suggestions? Or is there a sticky floating around on the site somewhere I missed? Thanks

Just made one almost exactly like this a few days ago. Cost, with heat tape: $200. Total time to put together: 2 hours.

I ended up with 10x6qt sterilites, 2x28qt sterilites, 2x12qt sterilites, 4x41qt sterilites.

This is my favourite rack tutorial that I've yet to find. This site I find is generally good. Click on 'cages' and they've got a few more tutorials for racks of different sizes. I wouldn't call it pretty, but efficient and relatively easy to build.

There's nothing stopping you from replacing the wood with melamine which might look nicer.

The Jasons Jungle racks look nice. Might be worth the money. Certainly worth investing in one before I invest in a morph. Thanks guys!

Jason is a great guy, great to deal with. He's also 45 minutes from my house .

I wish he was closer to me, The shipping costs are almost as much as the racks themeselves

I think I was comparing Jason's stuff with his and it came out his were cheaper since they included shipping.

Definitely! I like the cheaper prices Especially since I'm such a beginner...I don't want to get over my head cost-wise.
