DIY 41qt rack

New 41qt 10 level rack, just finished tonight. Matt Shifflet @ American Made Exotics & myself put together a couple, one for each of us. This is a great design clean, minimal work, & economical. I was lucky to pick the perfect time to purchase tubs and melamine and was able to construct mine for approximately $80 tubs included. Still need to purchase the flexwatt yet looking forward to moving the females into it after they lay eggs.

Got to give a huge thanks to Matt. Its his design and he did the majority of the work.

I just finished the article on my website. I will write up a thread and post it later tonight when I get all of the pictures posted on Photo bucket.

We finished two more this weekend, a 6qt & 12qt rack. 3 sheets of melamine went a long way.

Very nice rack. :gj:

Nice racks. Thanks for sharing

Please let me know where you got the tubs. I bought mine and I am over 80 bucks with just the tubs. The cheapest place I could find was Walmart online and they were 57 for 6 of them. Thanks

What Xavier failed to mention, is that he got 3 full 4x8 sheets of melamine for $5 because the lowes by his house doesn't sell whole sheets and got them on accident and marked them cheaper than dirt to get rid of them.

And he actually talked the lady at Target into pricematching the regular clear tubs with the super reduced price red and green christmas tubs a month after christmas. Talk about lucky day.

You can find those 41qt tubs on sale occasionaly, I found mine for 4.50 on sale at target and just went to every target in the area and bought all of them.
