Has anyone tried this diy rack

Rr
If so how has it held up and anything to know before doing it?

I can’t see why it wouldn’t hold up fine, but It seems like you could tape the heat tape under the wire shelf and it would be less work and more efficient. Also decide if you want a rack with lids. The security and ease of building the rack is nice, but It can slow down management.

I buily my own PVC rack. Recessed 4 in heat tape. 28qt tubs. The most difficult thing was routing out the place for the heat tape. It was worth it .

I found a guy on the market place on facebook that had a bunch for sale in Alabama…I went down there
and bought 4 sheets of 3/4" grey. I bought it in 2019 I think. You can order it through Home depot or Lowes, but it will cost an arm and a leg. I checked at those places before I found what I bought.
