I know i told you to put a screw in each corner of the pegboard. I had to put more screws down the sides as well. It was a little shakey till i put more screws in the back.
I heard different things about the rack you are talking about. If a heavy snakes is in the tubs it can cause the tub to come out of the runners and fall to the next shelf. not a long way to fall but the animal can escape. Keep this in mind when you decide to build.
