DIY racks/room. Snake and asf

More then anything it was the lumber saved. But im going to build a shelf unit that sits on top at a later date. Thats why i wanted to keep it low. My orriginal plan was gonna be all 5 tubs. With 6 inch spaces between. But realized 1. I dont need all 5 tubs. 2. I could save significant lumber if i used the bottom support as the next tubs screen.

With the air flow. Is it for the smell? Or what exactly. As u have said its not just for air supply.

Without air circulation the fumes can build up and cause respiratory diseases I think? Just guessing.

I would say ammonia first and bedding dust second. Then you have the smell of their waste and stale air.

I would suggest you get a fan to keep the air moving. It would also help with the heater.

Oh k makes sense.

I would recommend aluminum foil tape. The duct tape and hockey tape are not made to be used with heat, so the glue melts, making it a mess that your tubs will not slide well over. I know, I did it too.:)

Right now it is taped down with aluminum.. But aluminum reflects o cant shoot it with my temp gun. Just gonna put kne strip on

What is the ambient room temp? Is it low? It sounds like it might be low. Temps usually vary top to bottom but not by much a few degrees unless it is a cool room then the flexwatt doesn't get hot enough and you end up with tons of issues. Just thinking out loud here.
