The Frugal Rack system a good investment?

It doesn't look slim and sleek and modern, but that's about the only complaint I have with it, and even with the 41 qt there is a little extra space on each side of the rack which makes it feel really bulky.

Otherwise it's fine.

We also have one shelf for 3 15qts with same size heat tape running along the back and accommodating 3 tubs.

How do you have 3 15 qts with the same size heat tape running along the back? I'm curious because like you said the 41 qt would go from the side and the heat tape for that would be smaller. Plus you can't have same size heat tape for 28 qt tubs for my situation.

The 41qt heat tape is sitting on the rack back to front instead of side to side, same size heat tape for the 15qts but running side to side instead of front to back. It is a little short for the end tub.


I was trying to find bins that are the same height that would fit side by side to utilize the most room in the rack but not a lot of luck. It's just always going to be bulky.
