Side Loading 41 qt rack issues?

I wanted to build a rack like this also due to space. Might have to splurge and build it using v70 tubs instead of the sterilite for it to last as long as I would like it to

I also haven't tried a new tub, to see if that would smooth it out. I have been using this rack for about 2 years. I like it.

Works for me, thank you :)

your right they are easier. On the rack I built about 3 months ago, I noticed the side loaded 41qt slots I had on the bottom the snake would get there heads between the melamine and the tub. Got lucky and caught one of them just as they were getting their head through. I have since removed the 41 qt tubs on the bottom and replaced them with 28qt..

My tubs go in deep, as I wanted to make sure they couldn't push out. I have about a 3" lip, the tub will not bow out that far. *knocks on wood* never had any issues with escapees.

I have a homemade rack that I have sideways and mine has not warped at all.

How long have you had it? And are you using sterilite tubs?
