 |
|
Finally got around to building a rack i've had planned for a while.
Relatively easy and quite inexpensive all in all.  
I use heat cable on the shelves dropped into a channel cut into the wood and covered with metal/alu tape.The heat cable is more efficent using this method and is better than heatmats imo. 
Here's some pics of neccs ingredients i added to the basic wood,heat cable and stat recipe 
Thanks for lookin'

Here's the finished result,awaiting air holes and snakes
The good thing for me about using those sized tubs is they are inter-changable.The slim ones are half the width of the wide tubs,but the exact same length and height.

cheers Phil
I had a major change round of the room last week.It started off as just a quick 'thats goin there' and ended up like some crazy feng shui experiment
It's much easier now have a white section (racks) and an oak section(vivs)

Have snakes....need racks
I wanted to get it sorted before i started cooling snakes down for over winter.
It's surprised me how there seems to be more room in there,in though i added another rack
