6-tub 28qt tub rack material 7-24" x 18" shelves 4-3 1/2" x 37" sides 1-24" x 48" hardboard cut into sections 1 box 2" coarse drywall screws 16' of your choice of Flexwatt/THG 6-28qt tubs
cool vid dude and you helped me save lots of money and not half to wait so long for my rack to be shipped in ... I can just build a lite weight rack myself
Im have the same problem, I know asda have a good size tub its around 30 quarts, flat and only £3, look out for them they are see through with a colors lid which comes in different colors but that doesn't make a difference for use guys since its used in a rack.
How did you drill the holes for the screws? I’ve heard PVC can crack if your not careful. Also, how did you line up the screw holes on the posts with the platform sides? Thank you for posting this video! I bought the PVC sheets, but this will be my first rack build, so want to be sure I’m doing it right. 😉
Hi! Great video! I was wondering where you got your pvc sheets from because all I can find are sheets for $40 each and if you got 7, 24" x 18" shelves for $80 I'd love to know where
Good simple DIY video! I have been looking for PVC sheeting for a long time and it's been too hard to find at a individual consumer level. You mentioned Home Depot . How do you spell the name of the product ? Azacort?
Will this be enough a six foot red tail boa? I have one python one baby corn snake but also the boa who is large. I mean I guess we can always modify but just wondered if you know anyone who has boas in this size rack. I am mainly wanting to do this for him (and the python too I guess) because he is in a 75 gal. and he is very cage stressed. I have to have him out a lot as he becomes aggressive when kept in cage. He is fine once he is out. and the python has issues with heating and she was in a cage system before I got her and the guy who gave her to me says heat stays perfect cuz ball pythons are problem shedders anyway but she is really bad. just want the best for my babies any feed back from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
You can make a bigger rack and do a 41qt tub for your boa and adult ball python. Now your boa will have to move to a much bigger enclosure though when he goes beyond 6 feet
Black Rabbit my boa is 6 feet I thought this looked small lol I have him plus another 4 foot python and a itty bitty baby corn snake lol. trying to make something that would make them all happy.
My boyfriend is trying to figure out how you ended up cutting the PVC board. I told him that you probably had it cut at the place where you bought it at. He still wanted me to ask you though.
Hey there i've a couple of questions, forgive my ignorance on these. Im thinking of building a rack to hold 8 adult ball python. Is it more economic to have them all connected and controlled by a thermostat as opposed to 8 cages with heat lamps and heat pads?
Why did it matter how the tub was facing all you needed it for was to screw the boards together it would have been the same spacing you made yourself sound like an add
Damn. Bossy, aren't ya?
Bit of a prick isn't he.
So far this is the best video I've seen on how to make a good but not to expensive rack. Thanks for the upload! I most definitely will use this.
the pvc is actually really expensive if you look it up
@@dawnf76 I'm having a hard time finding any
Thanks guys I have a feeling you just saved me a shitload of cash
My bf is going to LOVE this! I look forward to sharing this with him thank you for making such an AWESOME vid it's helpful and easy as hell!! :D
I'm making a retic rack soon and your method seems better then the one I did the first time ... Thanks for the vid
Thank's for the video and easy instructions. It looks like I'm going to the hardwood store this weekend to build a rack.
Nice and simple. I can see this concept working for tubs of different sizes too, though it'll be good to calculate how much you'll need before hand
I use to work at AZEK all that PVC cost less than $5 to make. I made a ton of racks and cages with that stuff
How strong is what he is using. Someone said you have to use 1/2 inch or it will bend in the middle but he doesn't seem to have any issues
Nice I built PVC cages with sliding glass doors. I need a rack now .....good job
I am so thankful for this video. You have been very helpful. You just got another subscriber.
Best rack DIY I've seen bet a lot of ppl went out of business nice vid
cool vid dude and you helped me save lots of money and not half to wait so long for my rack to be shipped in ... I can just build a lite weight rack myself
You guys make it look easy. I wish I had the tools to make this!
Made it look easy! Thanks guys
That's a good build. I like it. I can't get the boards cut correctly. I am always off by just a bit. Home Depot won't make the cuts for me.
The back legs I would move top the back, and set the front back about 2".
That way your tubs won't slide back to far and help stabilize it.
I'm fucking with you just for the intro
brilliant! very helpful
Thanks for the video I found it very useful.
easiest way and best way to save some money
Cheers mate, I'll check it out. £3 is actually cheaper than what i'm paying now :P
Nice i do same thing but route out heat tape
Im have the same problem, I know asda have a good size tub its around 30 quarts, flat and only £3, look out for them they are see through with a colors lid which comes in different colors but that doesn't make a difference for use guys since its used in a rack.

need measurements, without them it makes this video completely useless
That was great
this really helped me! thank you!
Great vid, lot's of help!
Thanks
but can you please do a vid of how to connect heating
Hey could you please post those materials and dimensions, including heat tape length? That looks great and I would like to build one for myself.
You can also use cd as spacers
What about heat
Heat tape
Drew1011 where do you put the heat tape at?
Cory Holden under my nut sack
Shame cant get pvc sheets near me in store
Whereabouts do I put the heat tape? What kind do I use? How do I regulate temps? Solid rack, but I need the info on that other bit please.
Thanks for sharing, hope to see you post ball python videos. Peace
Did you only use the 48x96 sheet & cut it for the whole thing?
How to you put the heat tape on..... thought you had to route out slots so the tape doesn't wear out and cause a fire
good one best video I've seen so far...good job guys hahahahahah
Hi! Great video! I was wondering where you got your pvc sheets from because all I can find are sheets for $40 each and if you got 7, 24" x 18" shelves for $80 I'd love to know where
Home depot. $74 for a 48" x 96" sheet
Thks for sharing!
Good simple DIY video! I have been looking for PVC sheeting for a long time and it's been too hard to find at a individual consumer level. You mentioned Home Depot . How do you spell the name of the product ? Azacort?
Azek board
How thick was the PVC board as you mentioned the size but you didn't mention the thickness
Thats all good but I cant find a Home Depo that carries Azek Board????
how do you heat your racks? i want to make one for geckos. also nice vid(as always) and i subbed
What are you using for heat?
Robbie Hall what about lights?
Cory Holden doesn’t require lights if u have belly heat some reptiles do need special lighting
Nice racks I wont lie haha there are cheaper ways to build them but the cheap ways don't look as clean as those do.
Hey at least its cheap
you shud have showed how u secured the legs to it
@Futterguy we use 4" flexwatt
and thanks for the help
Sick vid but can u pls post dimensions of all the materials?? Thx

How many boards did u use just for 1?
Thanks
@Mikesfrogz yessir gotta always think how to save a few bucks
if you wanted a tighter fit, would you not use the cork board? do you think you would still be able to get the tubs out?
yes, but it will be really difficult
Where did you buy the pvc at
nice!!
Sweet. Bossy.
Will this work with sterilite 28 quarts because they have the bottom elevated a little
i have actually made the same thing, but with wood, cause i'm from italy and here you can't find pvc sheetingg :)
thanks!!
Whats the pvc plastic called? I wanna try to build on for my reptiles so i can sell the tanks that take sooo much space!!
How do you spell the board from Home depot?
Finding decent tubs are so awkward in england, it's hard to find ones with flat bottoms :/
exactly how long do I cut the side pieces? and are the shelves already cut to size or did you have a 4x8 cut?
Is this the size rack you would use for adult ball pythons?
No this is the size for boas but it can be used for ball pythons big ball pythons
+Usman Soban boas grow to 5 feet not the size for boas at all
Black Rabbit my boa is 6 feet I thought this looked small lol I have him plus another 4 foot python and a itty bitty baby corn snake lol. trying to make something that would make them all happy.
good luck
How do you spell the name of the pvc
Where do you get the plastic sheets? And did you have them cut?
make more videos plz
Where and how much is the heat tape
do you sell these look nice
yeah yeah!
That was easy...
Why did u take the brown bit out
Hi I’m from the uk where can I get those tube form
I think if you're going to bother spending all the effort making this video you should give a parts rundown in the description.
what kind of wood was that .
Heres the dimensions
Rack Dimensions & Info
My boyfriend is trying to figure out how you ended up cutting the PVC board. I told him that you probably had it cut at the place where you bought it at.
He still wanted me to ask you though.
+Alicia Beauchamp yes i had Home Depot cut it free of charge
Hey there i've a couple of questions, forgive my ignorance on these.
Im thinking of building a rack to hold 8 adult ball python. Is it more economic to have them all connected and controlled by a thermostat as opposed to 8 cages with heat lamps and heat pads?
How do you control humidity in a rack?
Hygrotherms control both temperature and humidity
Can it be used for baby corn snakes
where did you get the pvc from?
What are the dimensions for the materials?
What are the dimensions of everything?
can this be use for leapord geckos? or do u have another build for one
yes you can:)
Great to see that woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
About gow much does it cost
About 125$ with heating
Can you ple
Where can i find it at
home depot carries it
about how much did it cost to build this? I'm trying to build one for my balls, and I'm trying to find the most cost effective way, build or buy!?
$80
i did it with regular wood and i paid 13.50 + 13.50 for 3 bins. So i did a 3 bin rack for 27 bucks
Hehe build one for your balls...
Why did it matter how the tub was facing all you needed it for was to screw the boards together it would have been the same spacing you made yourself sound like an add
