    Making a cheap rack

    I'm checking how i could make a rack for hold 41qts tubs without spending a fortune.
    This is being done my many people but a lot of the threads I found do not have pictures or they are not available anymore...

    I found this setup that I find really great (http://blueappleherps.com/page13/pag...structions.pdf) and would like to know if anyone here tried it ? without heating and tubs it would cost about 135$ which would be really great to start.

    Also, I cannot seem to find Sintra where I am so wondering what I could use instead ?

    That is a nice and easy build, I need to see if I can find some Sintra around here and make me another rack. I'm running out of room and I am expecting to have a few clutches to hatch in the next few months as I am getting some locks on 6 of my 9 girls so far. I gotta have another rack to put all the babies in.

    Update!

    I made the thing! It cost me a total of about 130$ (withotu heating and gadgets)
    I did not check exactly how much but I did try to go for cheapest... and it did cost 20$ to have everything cut to size.
    I also took 1/2" pine wood instead of Sintra and forgot to make adjustments with everything else... so one side is wobbly, a few shims should correct that, hopefully.

    So here is the rack!

    On top is my Gargoyle Gecko that I need to monitor since he does not seem to eat... he'll go back to his tank eventually.

    And the babies (why not):
