welding up the frames that will hold the chicken wire
frames completed and squared perfectly
cutting the side supports
all four cut to length
welding frames to side supports (legs)
more welding
more welding....the weights are used to keep the metal from walking (when welding the opposite side of the weld will always tend to creep out...that's why it's best to always tack weld everything then weld with a full bead)
frames welded in place
everything squared
test fitting the screens and the tubs
screens in place
another pic of the screens
angle iron for the slots (i found out that none of the tubs are an exact copy, some have more flashing then others, but with builind multiple racks i figured out that 2cm is enough space for that model tub)
caster for the rack ( the nut is welded to the strip, the strip will be cut and welding to the bottom of the supports, the well will be able to be screwed in and out at any time)
screens done, angle iron welding in, tubs in place
fresh coat of alum colored paint
close up of the paint
watering system installed (all tubing is within the one support leg, thus allowing ease of movement and freedom of not catching onto anything
close up of watering system
another close up
another close up
drain for the system
and finally up and running
i made this rack several years ago, my newer racks have evolved a bit but still the same concept. this rack can push out 250+ rats per month.
let me know what you think
