    I am looking into building a hatchling rack for 36-42 babies and I wanted to see your styles. Any suggestions are appreciated! Now, let's see them :)

    Chad will be busy soon making a few more of these. This one has back heat, but I prefer belly eat.

    Is that just 49inches long? So you wouldn't have to rip it?

    It's 49 1/2" long, 25" tall and 14" deep.

    This is a 27 hatchling bin rack: 49" H x 24.25" W x 14" D

    Made with 5/8" thick melamine
    Shelves: 23 x 14
    Frame: 49 x 14
    Each shelf has 22" long 4" heat tape
    Bins: 6qt

    I use 3 bins per shelf because I sometimes make racks that use 16qt and 28qt Bins. The width of the shelves are the same... like in this picture:

    Welcome to BP.net Mike. Glad to see you decided to come here. Im Matt, one of the guys who was messaging you on FB about your racks and what not. They look real great by the way. I am personally using PVC right now, but the price and effectiveness of melamine is really drawing me in.

    Thanks Matt. I'm here, just usually browsing... more of a reader than a poster :)

    I recommend PVC since it's more durable than melamine, but the price is definitely more appealing... and looks better in my opinion. With proper care and proper construction, it can last a long time.

    Mike I just have to ask.......

    Is that your foot in your avatar? Reason I ask is because I've said for a long time I want to get a camel tattooed on my big toe :D

    Awesome :) Nice racks too, BTW!

    Sorry for highjacking the thread for a minute Kyle.
