It's a nice design. It is not mine though. Here is a link to the site that has the instructions.

He uses 28 qt. on his rack that is 10 high, close to 6ft. My tubs are bigger. Mine is only 6 tubs high, around 46" total heighth. I wanted my shorter because I am very fortunate and have a wife that likes to be involved with the animals. She's not as tall as I am. The expanded PVC that he uses, 1/4"/6mm Komatex, I found it locally at a few Plastic suppliers (yellow pages). One was $92 a 4x8 sheet and the other was $59 for the identical product so shop around. The plastic cuts just fine on a table saw or band saw. It's is a very rigid rack. The main reason I like it is every surface the animal comes in contact if is plastic, but the buld of the rack is 1" pine so the cost is low. His isn't heated, mine is with Flexwatt down the back with a solid back instead of the "board" that he uses.

I'm pleased with it so far.

Good Luck, just ask if there is anything I can help with.
