Even if i stack them, will i have space to attach the thermostat probe?

Long thread but FULL of great info! I read through this a whole thing a few times before settling on my setups and I love them.

Re: AP t8 enclosure
Assembly of AP cages is simple - all the holes are pre-drilled, non-obvious parts are labeled, and they come with instructions. Shipping unassembled saves on shipping cost.
Somebody up-thread said they're made from 1" material, which is incorrect, its 1/2", IIRC.
My husband and I are engineers, and he's good with tools, but the time saved in design and fabrication is worth it to me. The parts are machined to really better tolerance than we could achieve at home. And there's economies of scale in purchasing materials on AP's end - I researched, and getting similar PVC, etc. wouldn't save me much.

I hope they are strong because i was thinking of drilling holes for the thermometer probe so that i can run the wires outside

We all drill holes.. Its all good, justmake sure your 100% happy with how you want to run wires so your new enclosure doesn't resemble Swiss Cheese after you've changed your mind 4-5 times hahahahaha
