my home build rack, and several others here are built out of Melamine shelving. Lowes and Home Depot carry it.

birch thats what im building mine out of but its pricey mdf is great but you have to paint ir real good and make sure you use a sealerpaint on the bottom and most diff seal all the joint with clear water based chaulking mdf well expand if it gets wet

PVC or ABS plastics

Plastic is, in my opinion, the best mateiral to build reptile cages. Expanded PVC seems to be the best out of all of the plastic materials.

I would steer clear of plywood or anything porous. If you can't throw it in water without wrecking it I wouldn't use it. I built a few racks but in the long run I wound-up using professional racks I found on Craig's List and tanks.

brich is very none porous its a really smooth . matter a fact it the best wood to build speaker boxes out of (better than MDF) cause of its strength and density or even oak plywood but nothing with pine NO PINE

i would recommend Birch if you cant get expandable pvc like everyone on here tends to like or melamine is nice to

[SnM_Man]

where do u get expandable PVC ??... ive only ever see the plumbing pipes lol... how its for cutting ? would be able too use a standard table saw n mitre saw ??

[Lucas339]

easy to cut. look for plastic supply stores. they sell it in 4x8 sheets. super easy to work with.

Expanded PVC is quite pricey though. Is ABS plastic any cheaper or different?
