That looks really good! Where did you get the actually 'rack'?
it consists of two plano racks from walmart. I just cut all the posts down and combined the two racks and stacked them onto eachother to make more shelves. Then added my foil tape along the back, then heat tape on top of that. Then just pony all your heat tape sections together and hook into your thermostat and your done!

Which model plano shelving did you buy? How deep are the shelves? And what containers are those?
I have always thought about building one of these, but I always get worried about the dimensions. Yours looks awesome though!

geckochick, the shelving model number is 9554. I believe they were about 35 bucks a piece. I bought two of them. They are 18 inches deep, and the containers I used were from Home Depot. They were on sale for 2 for 5 bucks! they are 15qt. I had to trim the sides of the tubs off though to fit 3 on each shelf. But you can go with bigger tubs and fit 2 on each shelf as well.!
