    will these work?

    I saw these at lowes today. A friend said that the rats would chew through em at the top. Does any one use them and how do you think they will work?

    Re: will these work?

    I took a look at those when i was building my rack. While I agree that is the style of tub many people use I found the tubs carried by lowes in my area to be of a lesser quality then the ones carried at home depot. The brand name escapes me at the moment but the ones at lowes seemed thinner and more brittle. The best ones I have seen are by a company called Tuff stuff I believe, but they are expensive.

    the ones at my lowes are 12 bucks and weak, but the ones at home depot are strong and work well and even have a hole in the front of them that i ran a dowel down and it lock the tubs in the rack............cost 4 bucks.
