Thanks, I saw a few pictures of other ones people had made and started making a sketch. When I got done I looked again at other ones and saw that ALL of them are made from 1x2s and 1x4s instead of the 2x4s I used!!! Oh well, I have always said its better to over build than under build. Now I have to do some plumbing on it, my wife is mad because I spent more time on the rack this weekend than I did on her!!!

Re: built my first rat rack
Nice looking rack. Only thing I could see that you may want to change would be to cut the catch rails down about 3 inches so you don't have to push the water nipple back through the screen every time you want a tub out. I made that mistake with my first rack and ended up taking it apart and cutting them down. My problem was I waited until after I already had rats and found out what a pain in the butt it was to clean.

I thought of that as soon as I slid the tubs in. I will fix that, do the plumbing, then stock it with rats. I only have 8 balls though, so it will take a while to get my breeding just right, but it should be fun

Good job
I prefer your design much more then the one I just built.
I built the standard 6 tub stack rack and my basement ceiling height is only 6' high so I don't have room for the bucket on top for an automated water system.
And my wife is only 4'11" she needs a little stepping stool to look into the top tub and on her tippy toes for the second top tub.
I'm just about ready to built another using your design, specs would be awesome bro.
