Rack materials

1/4 should work.................. its a hatchling rack he is wanting to build

doesn't matter. i work with this stuff quite a bit. the 1/4" won't hold up to much weight unless you brace each shelf like boaphile does. that alone drives cost up when you can have better strenght with the 1/2" PVC and not have to brace it. the only thing i use 1/4" for is false walls in incubators which requires no weight to be put on it.

ABS or HDEP you can use 1/4" but it costs alot more and is a little tricky to work with. Cutting ABS is not that fun. Tends to chip and sling the chips across the shop.

i agree with the above. alot of bare wood in that one.
