Also, you say in the first post that the shelves are 24 x 17 but your cut reference sheet says 24 x 18. Was that just a typo?

I got mine from Target!

Fantastic thread

Target!

That was how I initially did it but ended up using 18" for the cut sheet. By the time the blade took away a little bit they are slightly under 18".

I was wondering simple man how stable the bottom of the rack is being supported only on the leg supports and not a large flat piece. I know you said the super glue secures everything, just curious. Great post, thanks many will benefit from this... :gj:

I found a few places that have XPVC in my area and I was wondering if you think quarter inch thickness will be too thin? It is significantly cheaper than the .5"

Awesome! Did you cut the PVC yourself or order it cut? And if you cut it, what did you use. I'm very interested in making one of these if I can find a supplier. Thanks!

Ignore my last post. After reading through the 13 pages I found my answer. I do have another question. What is the difference between xpvc and regular PVC boards? I can special order 4x8 boards of 1/2" thick PVC at menards to build a new rack as I can't find any local suppliers of xpvc. Any input is appreciated.

How did u set up the heat tape do u have a pic of that???

So I built the rack following the guide and found that on half of the tubs, they are tight. Next one I build I'll be using a piece of cardboard as an extra spacer.

Any suggestions on this?
