With a few clutches in the incubator, and a week off work I decided to have a go at putting a tub rack together.
I wanted to make something simple that didn't rely on accurate cutting as I dont have much in the way of power tools. I also wanted something that was totally flexible as in the shelf height had to be adjustable in case I want to change the size or style of tubs that I use in the future.
I think this is a pretty simple design, as it only needs a drill, and the use of a router as I will be using heat cord.
All up this was around the $200 not including heat cord or thermostat. Everything is from bunnings so I'm sure you could source materials cheaper if you really tried.
I still have to add some more shelves with larger tubs and a guide at the back to stop the tubs being pushed back past the shelf.
Not sure how it will go holding the heat with the sides being totally open so I may need to make some changes over winter.View attachment 226139View attachment 226141View attachment 226140
