    Protect the wood from the humidity I guess... Water and Wood usually equals mold.
    I was kind of wondering the same thing but thats all I could think up!

    Most people build the racks and setups out of melamine and that helps with the life of the rack or enclosure, because it doesn't go bad as fast as wood will with the high humidity levels.
    If you want it to last longer cover it with some kind of protection!

    I need to do the same thing to my deck this spring! :)

    Good Luck

    Hey....

    What are you doing for ventilation for the tubs?? Did you do holes on just one side?

    nothing, just the gap between the tub and the wood.
