    Re: Racks I've built

The 41 is a traditional pull from the front design but I had thought of building one where the tubs slide out sideways just like the one you posted here. Have you noticed any sagging in the center of the shelves, the XPVC has some flex to it so I'm curious. Also did you cut them from 4x8' sheets? If so did you need 2 or 3 sheets to do it?
    I prefer the pull out style, it gives you better control with defensive animals, and the flex you speak of. But the customer specifically requested it sideways. They said they would move the legs themselves if they had problems. I made them sign a no liability waver for that...

    The rack was made with 2 sheets, and I had a large scrap piece remaining.

    Also they used the 72 quart under bed containers, but if I used the slightly smaller 41 quart sterlite tubs that I house my adult girls in, then there would have been more scrap left, and probably could of had 7 or 8 shelves with the same material.
