    Re: New Rat Rack

    I think its great! the only thing I would suggest that others have said as well is to move the watering system to the front of the rack and put some bars on it to separate the food area on top of the levels from the general vented area.

    Sweet rack!

    So How much would you say that this thing cost you to build in materials?
    3/4 x 3/4
    3/4 angle
    1/2 expand metal

    Thanks Richard

    I just found this old post about welding up a rat rack, man that really gets me thinking about doing the same thing. I just ordered an ARS-5032, only five levels because it's all I could afford, but I'm thinking I could easily make another level or two using the same design and stacking on top. Maybe I could even weld up a grow out rack using ARS 70 series tubs. I could probably weld up a level in a weekend! Not quite sure where to get the materials though, I used to do a lot of welding and got most of my metal from a junk yard. Anyone know a good source for expanded metal and square tubing?
