Rack Recommendations?

Drew... found my earlier thread. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57740&highlight=Rack

Honestly, it wasn't that hard to build. Shelf spacing is dictated by the size bin you plan to use but the method will work either way.

AP has shoe box (6qt) econo racks too. I got a custom 15 bin one for $120 + $35 shipping.

Actually I've found out that there is a company a few hours from me....boamaster...that makes one out of melamine for $110...and it's the combo rack that will do the 15/32 qt tubs. The drawback to melamine is shipping weight of course....but I think I'll be able to pick up and STILL come out cheaper than AP.

TME can you post pics of your AP econo rack?

Here are two of them:

6qt

15/32qt

(This is backed up against my incubator and sandwich racks)

I still covet that 15/32 combo rack!!!

Thanks, I ordered an 8 shelf 24 tub economy rack the day before Sterilite announced that 1752 was being discontinued so right now mine is in limbo.

I'm assuming it came with heat as well? Cable or flexwatt?

Well, if you need the tubs to fill it up if you don't have them locally, just get involved with the Sterilite tub thread and order what you need. I'm getting the counts for my Targets right now.

Yes, heat is included. You can get Cable or FlexWatt; mine has FlexWatt as I was never successful using Cable (temps too low).

How long does it normally take AP to make and ship out a rack? I forgot to ask when I ordered mine...

I think two or three weeks, depending on how backed up they are.

I would have to cobble together at least 30 of the 1752 to have extra in case of damage and such, that would be hard to come by. I am just waiting for Target to get in the new 1751 6qts to see if they are what I want to use if not I am going with the 6.5 qt rubbermaids. Thanks for the offer though.

I think two or three weeks, depending on how backed up they are.

They told me a month because they were getting orders for Tinley ready when I ordered.
on Oct 3.

My first order took 5 weeks, and I ordered another since, and its been a month yesterday - though they said it should ship the end of this week. They say 3-4 weeks. But I'd plan on 5-6...
