I think that's the problem , people forget that it works out cheaper than viv's. I still like the original stack.

prices are negotiable, unless you have built a rack using the equivalent materials then i dont really want to know what they cost, if i wanted to i could probably build an mdf rack with heaters thermostats etc, that holds 14 50l tubs for £100 but were not talking wood.
did you by any chance email proracks and tell them there racks were too pricey as you built one cheaper???

We have a pro rack! And it was worth the money we paid. Problem with the rack you are offering is that a 50L RUB rack can be made for a lot less, yes using contiboard for the frame, but you don't really need a plastic frame...and the contiboard looks smart if finished right. The reason why the XL pro-racks are worth the money is the size of the tubs...4ft x 2.5ft!

The tubs on the bigger breeder racks are made of plastic!

i can build racks upto 8ft with these tubs, for a price a lot lower than pro-racks,

i am more than capable of welding a frame together as i am fully trained in tig welding. i am going to put together a rack and take it from there

Yes yours. I like how you can add more when you want and the idea of heat cable. Ihave some winracks that use heat strips but I think they should have used heatmats to up the heat with out the struggle of strips. Think your idea is a good one just as usual people want it cheaper. Is something for nothing! Typical. I like what you've done.

Polypropene mate. If you can mould your own hides, couldn't you mass mould clear tubs?
