    Re: Cost of DIY Rack vs. Purchased Rack?

    Very lightweight and very portable! And disassembled easily. Also note, I made mine an adult rack for 41 qt tubs. I'll soon be making another of the same exact design but for babies/juvies. For my adult rack I used the 2x3x5 shelf from home depot, and for the baby rack I will be using the 1.5x3x5 (with the tubs sliding out from the front of the shelf rather than the side).
    When I did my adult one I bought a large slab of whiteboard (like 4x6) which was $14 from home depot and they cut it into 2x3 pieces for me for free
    The shelf itself was $50
    Flexwatt totaled about $30 (I already have wiring/soldering iron/clamps ready to go, and also had a thermostat)
    Tubs $11 a piece (cheaper on line I think but I'm not sure with shipping cost
