Default Where to find Large/XL Contico Tubs for racks?

Hey there peeps,

I'm just in the process of planning a build for a rack for some snakes I shall be getting in the next few oncoming weeks. I wanted to find out where one would find contico boxes that the pro racks use (Tried emailing them, but no reply), I've found other brands and types, but they don't fit into the sort of design and plans I wanting to out forward.

Perhaps you guys could have some suggestions on what is most commonly used and where the best place would be to go out and buy all these.

Another thing, what stores have you found to be better riced in terms of supplying and cutting down wood for rack building? Would be using black melamine

No chance of anyone actually using XPVC sheets for racks like they do in the USA?

Cheers

if you have a range store near you theyve got an offer on at the mo, two, 32 litre clear storage boxes for 8 quid, bought 4 the otha day, as for timber dont go to homebase as they are silly expensive, try your local timber yard, they will be alot better at cutting it up for you aswel
