Completed 41 qt Sterilite Rack

[Russ Lawson]

Honestly? I think that little shelf area at the top is pretty handy!
Rack looks great!

Yeah, I'll soon be able to do away with a couple of small shelves I have in the snake room if I keep putting spots for storage on top of the racks. Then I'll have room for more racks!

Thanks for the complements everyone!

Hey so would you say that this rack is going to be free from sagging in years to come? I want to build this but just read a thread about melamine sagging after a while...whats the deal?

[Russ Lawson]

One of the reasons I built it deep was actually to prevent sagging. The main reason some do is because they have long pieces of melamine with no support in the middle. I have 4 screws in each side of each level. I highly doubt it will sag.

Nice! We just built out first which I'm pretty happy about. Everyone always says the first is the worst! But yours looks damn good so if thats the worst just imagine how the next will turn out.

Haha, I've since built another rack for 12 qt Iris boxes that holds 20, which I managed to do without screwing anything up. I'm picking up a Freedom Breeder rack here at Daytona though, since these melamine racks are godawful heavy and pretty difficult to move.

I think I'll steal that process to make my African House Snake rack... I'm to lazy but my favorite Rack Company RBI) making or 13qt or 32 qt racks.. nothing between... 13 is to small.. 32 is all right for Ol big female breeders... I wish the make something like 24 qt...

Nice Job !!! Thanks for posting That

I have a couple FB and I love them! Get some golf tees too and they work perfectly in the front and back holes as pins to prevent escapes. I have the dove tails on the back of
Mine. But in the front of them I have golf tees as locks. I havent had an escape and it assures I push them in tight enough.
