Starting New Rack

There are 2 things that I did not do on my rack, that I would do differently!
1) Caster wheels on bottom. It is a pain to move!
2) back support. Saggy rack = no good.

Hi,

Thanks Jen. Have a think about the angle iron idea to rescue your rack - would mean disassembly but needn't be a huge job.

if it ever came down to it, I was at ACE Hardware and they sell Alumium channel 3/4 in that would wrap right around the shelves on the back and the shelves should remain straight.

Ok The Rack is done. I made it from Melimine and it has 4 inch Flex Watt with a Helix T-Stat. The rack use's 18... 32 Quart Sterilite tubs.

If you have any comments or questions please post.

Thanks Richard

That is a awesome job you've done! Looks very professional, congrats!!

Yes, great job you have done! Are they full already, or are you scheming for some additions? ;)

Well I only have 9 Ball Pythons in it right now with more kids to come for sure. I will have to build one that hold 16 quart tubs next because the 32 quart will be to big for the 08's that I get so i quess I need to start adding up the watts and see what I can build for the 16 qt tubs.

GREAT JOB on your rack where did you get you 32qt tub I see 28qt ones at walmart but would like to get the 32qt... Thanks

I seen that wal-mart like the 28 qt sterilite tubs but you can generally get the 32 qt tubs at Target.

Also does your 4" heat tape cover enough space for the balls or could you use 11", I plan on copying you rack idea and my copying is a the highest form of compliment & flattery you did a Great Job... Is their any thing you would have done differnt or change??? Thanks
