Tasha,



I have never bought a rack system, because I come from generations of contractors.



I don't understand why a homemade rack would take up much more space than a vision??



my racks are a few inches wider than the tubs laided down touching each other, how much smaller can a rack be.

If the shelves on a bought rack were 1/8" thick, and even if you used 3/4" shelves on you homemade rack, on a ten level rack thats a 6.25" height difference from material. thats negligable to me when your talking several hundreds of $'s difference in price.



I totally agree there is a tremendous weight difference but I don't see why there would be any negligable space consuming differences.



As stated I have never bought racks, so this is JMO.

Also, I have never had a snake escape in the last 6-plus years since I built my ball racks.
