These things get expensive due to shipping costs. The same size tub I posted from Home Depot is also available on Amazon from a different manufacturer, with "free shipping", but it's about $200. If I got it at Home Depot I could have it shipped to my local store at no charge for pick-up for just over $40 with sales tax.

What materials were you thinking of to build the rack? And were you going to go 4 or 5 levels high?
I haven't planned all that far into it yet, but I currently have 7 Bloods and Short Tails, all of which will need re-housed before I know it. So, I will most likely make a 7 tub rack. Then a few years down the road I will have to build another one for any future holdbacks I may have. I will most likely use melamine. I'll definitely keep you guys posted!
