    don't you have problems the water bowls being tipped over often with the shape you're using??

    Nope..
    The weight of the water keeps the right side up!! :D

    P.S. I am gonna change them soon..

    I was just wondering because I used a similar bowl for about 1 days before it was knocked over by morning. Now I used square bowls with completely flat bottoms.

    That rack looks great. The only thing I noticed, is that I would be worried about that third row sagging. If it is possible, I would flip the rack upside down so that you would have those shelf supports on the bottom row. It may be fine the way it is, but that is just my thoughts. Congrats on a job well done.

    I am not sure if I get it right..But i think I know what you mean..
    All rows have a "support" but you can see it in 2nd and 4th row..

    Is that what you mean right..?? :confused:

    What Tim is trying to say is that the last row may sag (bow) as it has no support. It being on the bottom has the most weight on it. If you flip it you will put the bottom on top so it will not sag. But, I think the lengths of your shelves are short enough that probably wont happen any ways.

    or you can just add another brace on the bottom shelf.... again great job on it

    Sevo explained it a little better. However, if I understand you right, you have supports on each shelf and some are not visible. If that is the case then you will probably be ok. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    I just went back and looked very closely at the pic. I can just barely make out the supports, through the semi-clear tubs, on all of the shelves. I am guessing that you staggered the supports so that you could screw from the top and the botom. Now that I see it, I don't think you will have any problems with sagging. Very innovative. Great job.
