    Re: 28qt black melamine rack.....A sneak peek
    looks good.:gj:
    what brand of tubs did you use? I just build a few 28 qt tubs using sterilite tubs and the shelf’s needed to be 16 1/8" x 22 7/8" to accommodate the tubs. even without taking into consideration the saw curf that's almost 30 3/4 square feet for 12 shelves and a sheet is only 32.

    I used the Sterilite 1655 28 qt tubs. A sheet of melamine is
    49 x 97. Shelves are 16 3/16" wide.

    so 33 square feet then. I typically have to trim them back to 48 x 96 to eliminate chipping on the edges though.

    Thanks everyone. I finally have a few days off from my job coming up so I hope to kick out some more work on them.

    Don't have all the materials for the racks yet (such as the heat tape) so can't put a final cost on them. The cost of the entire project will be included in the how to tho.

    I have been working on them both at the same time, since I now have all the material cut to size I will probably concentrate on one at a time as I really need to get one finished. I have a few females that are getting a little large for their current tubs!!

    Once I have one completed I will work on posting the "how to", but can't give a definite thread date. As I said I usually only have a few hours a week to work on them what with my job and all the animals to tend to every day before work.

    Thanks again for all the kind words.

    Larry
