Ok I finished my ball rack and I am getting alot of condesation in the cool end by the water bowl? how can I stop this short of taking the water out and only putting it in two days per week?

thanks Paul

Are you seeing droplets on the sides of the boxes or on the water bowl and the area immediately around it?

If it's the latter check the height of the water. Small amounts may splash out when opening/closing the boxes, especially if the water level is too high.

If it's droplets on the sides of the box and the shelf immediately above the water bowl then I'd add more ventilation holes. You may have to do that anyways.

A question about the rack...

Are the sides built from a thinner material? It looks like it in that picture.

Good work.

Yes Chris the sides are 1/8 inch bath board and the shelves are 3/4 inch mel.

I am going to put more vent holes!
