Hi all Hayden here just thought I'd make a quick diy thread on my retes stack i knocked up today to help out some folks lol
Well first up I found a piece of hardwood today at work that was about 400mm thick that I split down to around 5-6mm lengthes of about 1200long using a bandsaw and I left the pieces unsanded to give a more natual look to my stack,
I then cut down to 35cm long and around 150mm wide planks,
After this I cut some pine spacers that were 8-10mm thick and attached these to the hardwood pieces using liquid nails and put a water container on top for a few hours to hold it together. This stack is for my 4x2x2 ackie enclosure that I am going to put on a shelf with a hollow log on an angle for access I will post pics after moving but these are all the pics for now and sorry for the quality from an iPhone
Oh I forgot the top two layers have been holesawed through the centre to allow heat to pass through and Also all levels are drilled around ten times in random spots.
Side pic of stack the gaps are just big enough for my ackies to squeeze in and should last for a while.
I think using hardwood looks alot better then thin ply wood .
Hope this helps someone.
