    Re: How are you securing your tubs in your rack?

    I don't secure my tubs, but I have seen people screw a little loop (to me they look like the straps for air lines, but I don't know what their actually for) on the edge of their racks then drop a nail through it to prevent the tubs from coming out.

    It takes quite the feat for a snake to push a tub out of a rack tho.

    Mine are pretty snug in the rack, the only way they have gotten out is someone not pushing tub in far enough
    Check out what's available at

    Re: How are you securing your tubs in your rack?

    If you look around on here many ways to do it, I personally use a PCV pipe with two half circles on the top and bottom of my rack. Ralph davis videos shows his racks its pretty much the same thing he does but i use PVC he uses metal. Hope this helps
