Racks, Racks, Racks... Show me yours!

[prettyinpink]

I'm going to be building a rack for my leos and would love to get some ideas. I'm just thinking the plastic containers on a bookshelf type look for now until later. I'll be building something more fancy in the future

Show me your leo racks! I would love to see them! :main_thumbsup:

Thanks!

The rack is 6' high 3' deep and 7' wide.i use 2221 rubbermaid containers.There is a 5" wide groove 1/8" deep to sink the heat tape in, so the tubs never touch the heat tape.I used the thickness of a DVD to space the tub and the shelf.My brother in law is a professional cabinet maker so he made it for free.

Oh I like that one Tony, did you make it or did you just buy the shelf?

I built it myself.

Tony, that rack is amazing! Great craftsmanship! :main_thumbsup:

I built it myself.

I think I'm gonna have to model mine after yours! I love it! Do you mind sharing the measurements? Just curious how big those tubs are.

 

[Tony C]

It is XPVC plastic, very easy stuff to work with. The tubs are Iris MCB-M, 18.5 quarts. Remind me tomorrow and I can take measurements for you, lights are out for the night in the herp room.
