    Re: Built My Rack!

    I just built this rack and had the same problems... if you use 28 quarts for male adults and then you can find 41 quart tubs that you jut put in sideways and can have a shoe box tub next to it is plenty big for a adult female

    That will work, but one word of caution on using the longer tubs sideways... large adult balls can push the sides outward and get their heads inbetween the tub and the rack shelf. Thats the reason you do not see any commercial racks made that way. However you probably could make a stop in the middle of each shelve to prevent this.

    Re: Built My Rack!

    I was looking around for plans to build a 15 qt rack and I came across this one. But the 15 qt 1754 tubs are discontinued. Does any one think you could use these iris 16 qt tubs for this rack?

    Target sells 15qt. tubs by Sterilite. May not be the same as you're thinking of, but these are what I used. You can buy them separately in the store.
    Here is the link.

    Re: Built My Rack!

    If you are building your rack, you can use what ever tubs you want. Just build the rack to the size of the tubs, with or with out lids. Just add your spacer between tub and shelf.
