    Securing tubs in a rack
    I just got my combo rack from C-Serpant. I love it! My question is can the tubes be secured so dogs can't slide them out? I also have a friend with a snake 🐍 fobia and I want him to relax when he's at my place. I am able to close the door to the room but it is a guest room and soon there will be people going in and out.

    Welcome by the way!

    A lot of people Ive seen use a board or wooden dowel that slides down the front of the rack for such a purpose. Get two "U" shaped brackets from a Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards that fit the diameter of a 3/4" wooden dowel. Screw the brackets to the front of the rack on the top and bottom. Cut your dowel to length, and slide it in.

    Thank you Kevin! I wish I had seen this before I went to Lowes tonight! I was going to make a screen door but I like your recommendation MUCH better. I was worried about air flow so the dowels will be much better. Thank you, thank you!

    You're welcome :gj:You can do it with horizontal dowels for eash individual tub, or one single, long vertical dowel that blocks every tub. I like the idea of one vertical dowel personally.
