    Built my rack.
    I built a combination 32 quart and 16 quart rack. It has five shelves and I made it out of melamine board. I'm sure there are better materials but I did this on the cheap.

    I'm waiting for the heat tape to arrive and then I will wire it up and tack a back onto it.

    My only concern is that I didn't leave enough of a lip. It's about 1/4 inch. What do you think?http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...ee40b66128.jpg

    I'm thinking if I can screw some type of cam that swings down it would not allow the snake to move the box and keep a curious cat out.

    Something like this in whitehttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...37e24396d6.jpg

    Did you use anything to keep those tubs in place. I could see a strong snake being able to move the plastic enough to wedge its head. The sterilite tubs are pretty flexible.

    I guess I could always use a 28 quart with the lid on it.

    I think those clips should work. Use 3 per shelf for extra peace of mind

    .25 Inch gap looks fine, mine are about a quarter inch too. As for the tubs sliding out I've never seen it happen but if you're worried about it one of those clips per tub should be fine.

    16 quarts doesn't even fit they are a little too long.

    I'm going to get the clips to be on the safe side. I didn't realize the tops of the tubs flared out like that. I guess you learn from your mistakes and when I make my 41 quart rack I am going to do things differently.
