Enclosing my open snake rack??

Here is what I currently have.

Because of cooler room temps I am going to need to enclose it.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to enclose it with?

I have googled around and seen these used but there were super OLD post so wanted to make sure that nothing better came along.

Well if looks doesnt matter you could just get some styrofoam boards (or something similar) and glue to the sides/bottom /top. Good isolation, cheap and easy.

I used something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Ma...&storeId=10051

I'm not sure if that's the exact one, but the sheeting I bought is styrofoam with a reflective silver side. I cut it to size (very messy - styro gets everywhere!), aluminum-foil taped the edges for aesthetics, and then spray-painted the white side black (leave the clear plastic film on when cutting and taping, otherwise the paint just gets sucked into the styro). Let dry well, then attach to rack with reflective side facing inward.

I would just screw some paneling on it and call it good, the heat you gain will still be significant.

I'll take a couple when I get home tonight. I like how it didn't add any noticeable weight to the racks.

Here is what mine turned out like.

Looks nice!

I think I'll go that route.

Thanks for taking the time to post...
