Here's a pic for uf_gator............arboreal rack.

Brandon Osborne Nov 30, 2004 03:10 AM

I made this from all pre-cut materials purchased at Lowe's. The boxes were found at Wal-Mart for $5 ea. and the total cost was around $30. Just wanted to share. There was absolutely no cutting involved in this and it took about 5 minutes to put together.

BTW, you folks have some beautiful snakes here.

maybe we can convince you to make a little room for an ETB or two? I sure do love lurking on the GTP forums and seeing all your beautiful specimens....but how can you resist one of these.

The force is strong with that one. Very nice. I've always liked ETBs, but I've always liked chondros more.....as far as looks. Much more variety in my opinion. I would like to have a pair some day, in addition to a pair of nice RED ATB's. There are some real beauties on this forum. Keep up the great work people........and keep the pics coming.

I knew I remembered seeing something that looked like that. That's exactly what I had in mind. That is awesome and quite nice looking. Would you mind telling me the dimensions on those boxes? And those are the precut melamine sheets from Lowes, right...what size? I'll hopefully build one this weekend. Thanks again Brandon. That's exactly what I needed.

The tubs are Sterlite brand 77 QT. The measurements are 16"w X 23"l X 17"t. The run around $5 ea. and are readily available at Wal-Mart and maybe Target.

The melamine is all pre-cut. The sides of the rack are 16"x36"x3/4". The shelves are 16x24x3/4. I didn't have to make one single cut on this. For the stops in the back, to keep the tubs from sliding out, I used some thin strips of pine found in the lumber end of the store. The total cost for this rack will be around $30. Sometimes I wish I had made more of them, but I simply like to stair at my chondros too much. lol. Good luck with your rack and post a pic when you finish it.
