    Re: Rack system DIY

    I've just finished my new rack... well, it still needs flex watt and some minor finishing touches, but it’s mostly done. I did it slightly different that George and did 2/32 quart shelves and 3/41 quart shelves. Here are some pics...

    Thanks to Geroge's advice, It took me about 3 hours to build.

    All Finished..

    Well its done, working on it alittle at a time here and there. I decided to close up the sides and I used pegboard that has a "steel" paint color to it...Came from the store like that..I also redid the 4 vertical side pieces (had them in 3 inches from the end to start) I just moved them to the actual corners of the rack...Its running 11" flexwatt belly heat and is holding temps real nice...Ill add the tubs and snakes in tomorrow....Let me know what you think...

    They are standard 41QT sterilites...Here in NC they are everywhere (walmart, target, even some grocery stores) they are about $6.50 a piece
