Melamine Sag?

[SatanicIntention]

Remember to predrill, predrill, predrill. If you don't, you will have alot of stripped screw holes and cracking particle board(or melamine).

I just reassembled my 41qt rack, replacing the melamine sides with 2x4s. It's such a hissy, pissy material to work with, LOL. I am assured now that it hates me with the passion of a thousand hearts(or so my friend Shawnna says).

I do not like Melamine. It's just sawdust covered with a thin layer of plastic. I also like having racks with three or four tubs across on each level. (Longer flex-watt runs and fewer connections) I have had great success without Melamine or plywood. I just use 2X3 lumber and frame the rack like the Freedom Breeders racks. Nice long runs and no sag.
