They also sell edging in roll form that you apply heat too to make the edges match the rest of the rack if you like a visually appealing rack system. There are loads of DIY videos and guides to help with the process as well.
It looks kind of junky, but the protective coating makes all the difference I suppose. Definitely cheaper than high-grade paint-coated plywood! Thanks for the tip.
