Several of our babies were ready for larger tubs, so a new rack was in order. I thought y'all might like seeing the construction since this one is a little different from the typical rack.
I made this in sections so it is easier to get it inside the house. Sterilite tubs were used for the entire rack. Each slot can accomodate one 41qt, one 28qt and one 15qt, or three 15qt tubs. Being able to find all three sizes that were the same height has allowed me to reconfigure the rack as needs change. It could even hold 6qt hatchling tubs with appropriately sized shims.
The first step is drilling the holes in the tubs. I haven't tried the soldering gun method yet since this works well for me and is fairly quick. I used a shelf hole drilling jig for the spacing.
