need a rack

[sharno]

i need a fairly small rack probably 20 small bins and 12 medium sized bins but i want them to be on the same rack. can someone post some sites that sell something like this? i would love to make it myself but i dont have the ability to do all teh wiring etc. or if someone builds them privately at their home and sells them at a decent price then let me know what a price would be. thanks

also im way down here in florida......

If you're interested in buying a rack, check out these two companies...

For a larger rack (requires assembly but it's a piece of cake)- check Animal Plastics. I've got their 7 shelf rack that holds sweaterbox/blanket boxes and I'm happy with the product.

For a couple of smaller, fully assembled racks- check out Jason's Jungle. I just purchased a 5 shelf rack that holds either 5 blanket boxes or 10 sweaterboxes. Excellent craftsmanship!

If you don't see exactly what you're looking for on the company's site, you may want to contact them and see if they'll do a custom job for you. May cost more, but then you get exactly what you need...

hey man thanks for the great links, i got a question for you since you have one from the animal plastics. you can put different width boxes in the same shelf right, for example i was looking at the 27 6 qt tub rack and i was thinking of putting larger tubs on the bottom 4 or 5 shelves. do u think that is possible ? thanks

I also have the 7 shelf rack, and it's specifically designed to hold 2 smaller tubs, or one larger sweaterbox tub, on each shelf. At the moment, I have 2 sweaterboxes in for adult leos, and a bunch of smaller tubs for juveniles leos and my corn snake.
You can't put two different sized boxes on the SAME shelf--you can put two identical sized boxes on one shelf, or one larger box on that shelf, but not both.
The racks are specifically designed to fit very specific sizes of boxes--they tell you exactly which size you need to buy to fit the rack.
They have different racks built to fit different brands of boxes, so decide in advance whether you'll be using Tupperware or Sterilite (they have one other brand too, if I recall).
The reason is that different brands of boxes have slightly different dimensions, and you want the boxes to have a good fit on the shelves.

Not all their racks are designed to accomodate more than one size box, so read over the descriptions carefully.

Winged Wolf is right, you need to know which boxes you're working with before you get the rack! With my original Animal Plastics' rack, it didn't come with the tubs. I had to find them and at that time, the Rubbermaid 2220 and 2221s were not available locally (due to a change out in the product line). Shelf heights are not adjustable, so you need to know the dimensions of the tubs to find something that will fit well. The rack websites tell you which model of tub fits their racks, and they build to that specification.
