1/2 inch gaps

[marwari31]

So I recently built a 28 qt rack and my Iris 41 qt tubs sort of fit in there sideways but they have a gap at the top of about a half an inch. Do you think an adult female could get out of such a gap?
Thanks

probably..does it fit with the lid on it? that way you wouldnt have to worry!!

Lol I don't have a lid for the tubs

she will most likely be able to start to get out and bend the tub and make her way out, you could buy some 1/2 plywood and put it on each shelf to shim up each tub

She will make it her mission to get out with a 1/2" Can you pull out the slots and maybe re-drill them so there tighter fitting over the tubs?

We ended up putting 2 sheets of some 1\8 inch pegboard and now the tub fits perfectly. I also retaped the heat tape so nothing would be in between the tub and tape. It seems to be working, I am going to monitor it for a day or so before I pit her in

They can have art class but they need to keep wood shop!!!
