Building a rack system

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I have

Pros

Saved money when I first started

Cons

Too heavy (used melamine) which made it a pain when we moved and too heavy in general for my liking.
Wood constantly contract and expend
Time consuming

I used heat tape the rack were open so no need for sealant.

Now to me it's about valuing my time, getting something sturdy but yet light which is why I buy PVC racks.
