my 50 new female bp's d/u warning

Nice group Matt! Good luck with them!

thanks rapture.

Here are the materials needed:
4ft X 15" Melamine Shelving bought from Home Depot or Lowes X's 10 pieces pre-cut (Being the 2 sides and 8 shelves) $100.00 pre-cut or cheaper if you buy a large piece and cut it yourself. I still need to add the top shelf to mine!

1-1/2 wood screws X's 32 = 2 screws per side of shelf = $5.00 for a case of 50 screws at Home Depot or Lowes

Elmers Wood Glue to glue each shelf before screwing together = $3.00

Silicone to seal the edges of each shelf = $2.00 (not required, but helps seal the rack to last longer).

Helix DBS 1000 Thermostat = $125.00
3" Flexwatt = 28ft = $60.00

12qt Sterilite tubs X 28 = $70.00 at Wal-Mart

Total cost about $365.00 for everything! Including Tubs, heat and Helix! You could get a cheaper thermostat and save $50-$60, but I decided to go with Helix.

This rack holds 28 12qt Sterilite tubs or 14 28qt Sterilite tubs or a mixture of the two tubs. This rack size is great, because as they grow you can transition them over to the 28qt tubs and still use the same rack! Each rack took less than 1hr to assemble and that includes the beer breaks!

I plan on building two more of these racks as time goes on to accommodate 56 28qt tubs. Eventually, when needed, I will build some racks similar to these to house Iris CB70 tubs for the larger girls. These Sterilite racks will for future babies and yearling BP's.
