    Talking New rack

    My wife and I built this rack, its a pvc storage rack from home depot. We got it put together, got our 105qt tubs from walmart, and 2 2yd pieces of clear vinyl.. We screwed the vinyl to the rack, ran flexwatt and boom, one awesome rack. Let me know what yall think..

    I like it, James

    Are you using binder clips to secure your tub lids?

    Looks pretty good! I'd love to see a tutorial on this if you have pictures of the construction. How much did it cost to build (minus the tubs)?

    Good deal! I've seen some brands of tubs with end locks that can gap pretty badly in the middle. Good thing your big boy already tried it.

    I so rarely get a chance to tell a man that he has a nice rack

    Thanks everyone, to be honest it only cost me $50 for the shelf at home depot, the vinyl was like $3 a yd x 4yds, then the tubs from walmart flexwatt was a gift so i'm gonna say a grand total of $100 +/-... I'll break down steps and take pics for a diy forum post later tonight.

    Looks good, but I would never use a rack that requires lids, lol.

    I second binder clips, because I HAVE had one escape out of those very tubs. The middle is easy to lift if the snake is determined enough to get out. They spent about 4 months in there with no issues and then one day we got back from an Expo and there was a turd on the floor and everything on my bathroom counters had been swiped off.
