It looks fine to me :rockon:

Great Job!!!! :) :D :)

I was just wondering because I used a similar bowl for about 1 days before it was knocked over by morning. Now I used square bowls with completely flat bottoms.

That rack looks great. The only thing I noticed, is that I would be worried about that third row sagging. If it is possible, I would flip the rack upside down so that you would have those shelf supports on the bottom row. It may be fine the way it is, but that is just my thoughts. Congrats on a job well done.

you are goooooooooooooood!!! i agree... flip your rack over. you don't need support at the top, you need it at the bottom :)

I am not sure if I get it right..But i think I know what you mean..
All rows have a "support" but you can see it in 2nd and 4th row..

Is that what you mean right..?? :confused:

What Tim is trying to say is that the last row may sag (bow) as it has no support. It being on the bottom has the most weight on it. If you flip it you will put the bottom on top so it will not sag. But, I think the lengths of your shelves are short enough that probably wont happen any ways.

or you can just add another brace on the bottom shelf.... again great job on it

Sevo explained it a little better. However, if I understand you right, you have supports on each shelf and some are not visible. If that is the case then you will probably be ok. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I just went back and looked very closely at the pic. I can just barely make out the supports, through the semi-clear tubs, on all of the shelves. I am guessing that you staggered the supports so that you could screw from the top and the botom. Now that I see it, I don't think you will have any problems with sagging. Very innovative. Great job.

I don't know how big those are off hand just by your dimensions, but it sounds all right, unless you've got really big balls :D

What are the dimensions of the rack? How are you heating it? What materials did you use, and what was the cost approx.?

I 'll make it easier for you..

Dimensions of Rack (In Inches) : 48*23*33 (length*width*height)
Dimension of Tubes (In Inches) : 24*16*8 (length*width*height)

I made it of melamine , and I am using heat mats as heating source..

Tubes , Heat Mats and Melamine cost me about 500 US$

Is now the size of the tubes understandable..??
If so , please , please answer to my question..:tears:


Recent pic coming soon..

The word you're looking for is "tubs" (I understand that English is not your first language:))

I'd go quite a bit bigger for adults. I keep my tubs large enough that if you add the length of the front and one side together, it'll be at least the length of the snake.
