I built another one of these last night. No pics because it looks exactly the same as the first :) . Got my time to build down to under 2 hours with wiring of heat tape. I'll probably build one or two more of these in the next month or two. Then I am on to building 60 tub shoebox racks. I will probably wait a few months for those though.

Jamies...new avi is so hot!

One full sheet gets you 7 sweaterbox tubs or I believe 20 shoebox. Don't know about the in between size because I don't use them. I think a CB70 rack would take 2 sheets.

Yep. Perfect for breeding! The dimensions I have are for the boxes I used. The Sterilite 32qt tubs are a different size so you would need to adjust your dimensions.

Ok, I think i want to buy the ARS tubs or the freedom breeder tubs for this rack..I am still unsure...so I will have to take measurments! I think I found supplier...but im not sure.

I called my local plastics supplier and they quoted me $139 for a sheet but she stated they have a recycled material similar and is mainly used in marine applications. The product is roughly half the price ($65 for a 4'x8' sheet) and looks almost identical. Its called King Starboard, anyone ever heard about it?

I just got some more info on it, I guess HDPE so not the same as Starboard, not sure of any chemical characteristics...I will keep looking into it

Thank you for the link. I am located in NJ also and have been trying to find a good local supplier for this stuff.

Any chance the pics in the first post could be fixed?

x2

pics dont work no more!

this thread is rediculously old.

I realized that when I asked for the pics to be fixed. I figured it would be better than a "post pics of your xpvc rack builds" thread that would probably get no replies. Guess I was wrong.

Hi,

If you check out Jamies website you will see he is currently re-doing it.

If he puts the pics and plans up on his new site we will try to link to them for you. :gj:
