Just built this DIY rack out of stuff around the house and I’m pretty proud of it. What do y’all think?

I build one like this that’s 3 tubs tall and 4 long and I was wondering with the heat tape if you have to provide a gap in between the heat tape and the tubs. On the instructions it says that a 1/4" gap is necessary to prevent overheating. Is that necessary or with a thermostat overheating isn’t really possible. Maybe it depends on the kind of heat tape. I’m just wondering if you provided a gap or not.
