>>You could also just cut some pvc pipe the right size and slip over the threaded rod between each shelf instead of nutting each one. I guess sandwiching each shelf top and bottom with the nuts makes it very solid, but maybe overkill? Looks like you could keep baby elephants in that thing! It’s a good solid build for sure.



The reason for the nuts and washers is to make it FULLY adjustable for any size tub....If you put PVC spacers you would have to take it apart everytime.....which would be a pain in the arse.......LOL
