Re: rack is worse than i thought

Re: rack is worse than i thought
I would put the gap filler on the top, so you don't have to mess with the flex watt but don't burn it it looks good, just a little top spacer (unless you don't have the flex watt in i can't tell). Next time, try when setting it up for the build, use a piece of carboard, or a piece of cardboard with one of the flat sides ripped off to be a spacer on top of the tubs as you build it. Worked great for me.
Edit: are there handles on the sides of those tubs that would stick up a bit?

Re: rack is worse than i thought
No worries, it could be one of those things that one is a little off, then the next is a little off, then by the last one it is a little too much of a gap. Nothing that can't be fixed. When i built mine i screwed up so that i had to flip the whole thing over so that the top was now the bottom, and i worked out fairly good i had to change some things as i went along and somehow ended up with like a shelf on top that i didn't expect lol! no worries, it can be fixed.

Re: rack is worse than i thought
Looking at the tape measure it looks like the gap is about 1/2" ? If so you shouldn't have to worry. Unless you are using this for hatchlings most 1 yr+ ball won't be able to squeeze out that small of a gap.
If you are concerned still...I wouldn't suggest attempting to change the height of the bins but rather add side rails to cover where the gap is (attach strips to the blue wood that run from to back to the front along the sides of the rack).
Hope this description is clear??
