Open air design

So I decided to build another rack. After having searched for forever, I finally found a company with decent prices.
For a full sheet of 1/2" thick XPVC with cuts and shipping it cost me $184. From Multi-craft plastics.
I decided to go with an open air design that I found on ssscales. This is a 7 slot rack that uses both 12qt., and 28qt. sterilite tubs.
So without any further ado, here it is.

nice! those actually look like Animal Plastics Economy Racks. how did u wire the heat tape? is it one long strip snaked through the 7 levels or are they 7 pieces running parralel?

anyway now u gotta make some more. ;)

Hey ax, Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it.
I found the design on www.ssscales.com
in the diy section. There are a few different designs.

BTW...the flexwatt is 7 strips that are individually wired by reptile basics.

Nice rack you built there :gj:

I just want to know where you got the materials? I have been looking to build but have to use wood and takes a lot of extra work to seal it up.

I actually ordered the plastic from a company called multi-craft plastics in Portland ,OR. The order was 1 full sheet of black 1/2" xpvc. They will cut it for you for a fee, and it costs about $119 a sheet. I recommend talking to Daniel the sales manager, he's awesome. And if you want to, you can just tell him that Verne sent you. I hope this helps.
