    I don't move mine a lot just roll them around enough to vacuum under them but these racks have served me well for most of 2 years now and only cost $50 to $60 each to build.
    1x2's and 2x2's are pretty inexpensive and do the job quite well, no need for 2x4's that make the racks weigh a ton
    I don't have a build sheet written out but could give you the cuts you need to make and a couple close up pics so you can figure out how it all goes together.

    I also used Clay's plans to build my rack. I was lazy and didn't want to rip 2x4's so I used the 2x2 at Home Depot. The 2x2's are not dimensionally the same so that caused a few issues. And my tubs ended up being about an inch less wide. Other than that it was an easy build for a guy that is not that handy.
