DIY Rack

[Herp Lover]

I made this rack on Google Sketchup. Is his a good plan? Is there anything you would change? What type of wood should I make it out of? Thanks

I would put vertical dividers for support

depending on the width of your tubs and how many are going on each shelf.What are the width dimensions?

vertical support per 16 inches should support any project. 16 inch wide tubs for adults, two 8 inch wide tubs for hatchlings. that rack is 72 inches tall and 60 inches wide?

Im going to be building a rack similar to this soon and what I am doing is putting tanks where the doors are. Just another idea!

Needs backstops. Remember that all wood used in constructing habitats should be sealed in order to form an impermeable surface. At that scale, made from either plywood or MDF I'd usually use plastic laminate with either aquarium silicone or polyurethane around the joints and edges.
