ballfreak Oct 03, 2006 10:43 AM

i am looking into a rack system and i was thinking vision but i really dont like that the sides are open. i currently have a rack system but im looking to get a larger size rack. something that can hold 10 tubs approx 30qts. i would like to see who is using animal plastcis and how they are. thanks all.

I own 4 AP racks. They are awesome. 3 of them are the 10 shelf racks that use a single 32 quart box or 2 15 qt boxes per shelf. I like the design, attention to detail, quality of build, pricing, durability, etc. Due to the location of my racks, the open frame design that Vision uses is not an option. AP has a new design that is also open on the sides. I MAY try one of these but I suspect that I would end up wrapping/covering the sides with rigid insulation or reflectix to hold in the heat.
I highly recommend the racks from AP.

I use AP racks and have been very happy with them. I also don't like Vision's open sides. I've gotten very good service from Amanda from AP and have a bunch of their racks and a few cages. I have the heat cable hooked into Helix control units and everything has been good for me.

We specifically designed the Vision Versa rack to give breeders the choice to have either an open sided rack or a closed sided rack.

There are little grooves on the side of each rack panel that allow you to slide a piece of plastic or poster board in thru the slots and cover the sides and back of each level of the rack.

You can cover some of the sides for your schizzy Balls and leave other sides open.

Designing one rack to make everyone happy was a challenge, but after working with some the largest breeders in the country for 2 years, we feel we have accomplished the goal.

A special thanks needs to go out to Greg Graziani, Eugene Bessette, Tracy Barker, Joe Compel, Bill Brant and Dan and Collette Sutherland. Without their help, this system would have never become a reality.

I have 4 racks from Animal Plastics and I love them! They are well constructed and hold the heat in extremely well. I'm gettig more as soon as I can sell some more snakes!! The customer service is outstanding, if a tiny bit slow due to the volume of cages they are currently building. You will not be disappointed.

I've got eight Animal Plastics racks and a few cages as well. I can't say enough good things about them. Best racks on the market in my opinion.

I bought a rack from AP last year and will use nothing but from now on. You can't go wrong with Animal Plastics.

I own 32 of their products.......mostly racks, but some larger cages for retics. They are the best out there, in my opinion, with customer service you can't find anywhere.

I have 3 of their racks and LOVE them...haven't had a problem with them yet. As BrandonBoeke said, the customer service is outstanding as well.

Animal plastics is ok but if you want the best rack money can buy go with a Habitat Systems rack
