    Rack designs??

    My husband is a carpenter and after seeing you alls setups he was wondering where we might find some "blueprints" so to speak of, that might take a bit of the guess work of building one. I really like Kagez28's set up but its way bigger than we need. I am not planning on breeding but neither do we really want to have a house full of 30g glass tanks and I think a smaller rack system would be perfect. Any ideas?

    PS. I have been looking online at makers of rack but they are really expensive IMO and the hubby needs a hobby for the winter.

    Here are my plans; it's a step by step pdf on how to make it: http://www.blueappleherps.com/page13/page14/page14.html

    Someone else on here used them and modified it to only hold 5 tubs and they also substituted in 3/8" plywood for the sintra. Turned out very nice.

    Good point, LOL Of course he would be working in between his sports weekends. Trying to tear him away from a football or basketball game or a Nascar race is almost next to impossible so it just might take all winter

    Thanks! (sort of a big file, but I've never claimed to be a computer expert, so I don't know how to make it smaller. The fact that I even got it set up to download is quite an accomplishment!)
