    racks-Should I use pegboard or solid back?

    I am building a rack and thought what should I cover the back with? I am thinking pegboard for air circulation or solid soI loss less heat! What do you guys think? What worked best for you?

    Re: racks-Should I use pegboard or solid back?

    i have the solid back which i like because to me it holds the heat better but i cut it 1" shorter to leave an open space for the wires, it saves from having to drill holes for the wires.

    You know your situation best. Do you feel you need more air circulation? Or do you feel you need to hold in the heat better? Only you know for sure.

    Most people in colder climates would prefer to hold in the heat in a rack. You can always put holes in the tub.

    I will be putting holes in the tub! I just thought that maybe holes in the back would let the air move more!
