    Talking Re: Plastic Rack Question

    I was looking at the Heavy Duty Shelving Units at home depot. I think it's cost around $40 or $50 bucks. All you have to do is cut the poles the size of the tubs. I used a $15 shelf for my baby rack and haven't had any problems. Here's Video so you can see what i'm talking about. I'm not going to use the board he used. But that's up to you

    1.1 Normals (Otis, Queen)
    1.0 Pinstripe (Pins)

    This is 40% off at Canadian Tire right now! http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en
    I saw these before, but still prefer to go the route of a fully enclosed rack.

    I contemplated this rack too, but melamine is still cheaper and does the job. I've been asked to make PVC racks for other people, but I find that most in the hobby will look for an economical solution to housing their snake. People complain that they're too heavy and bulky, but in reality, people don't move their racks as often as they think they need to. Melamine looks more like furniture to me

    I am currently building some racks out of melamine because i was in a bind and couldn't pull off PVC right now. I will never work with melamine again. PVC is 10X easier to work with in all aspects of building.
