Let's build a snake rack.
The material you need;
1 and a half sheets of melamine 5/8 thick 49"x97"
Screws (cabinet screws are recommended)
Heat tape 12"x48"
Wheels x4
7 tubs with lids (Sterlite 37Qt 24"x18"x7")
Cardboard that is 16"x24"
Heat resistant tape
The tools you need;
Hammer and screwdriver or chisel
Drill with a drill bit that fits the head of the screws you use.
All the other tools I have are for when I rip the sheets down. If you get the hardware store to cut the material down for you, then these won't be required.
Cut material;
A. 8 pieces at 18"x24"
B. 1 piece at 18"x49"
C. 2 pieces at 24"x49"
For these instructions, I am going to assume you had the material cut at a hardware store to save that step. So I will be briefly going over the steps. This rack is very simple to assemble, the tubs will act as our measuring tape.
Step 1, screw the side panels A to the backboard B to create a U
Step 2, place the first shelf C at the bottom on the inside of the U and screw it in
Step 3, roll the heat tape down the back of the rack on board B and tape the sides
Step 4, place the first tub on the bottom shelf (not with the lid)
Step 5, put the piece of cardboard on the top of the tub
Step 6, place the next shelf and drill
Step 7, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 until all the shelves C are used except 1
Step 8, notch out a hole for the cables to pass through
Step 9, put the last shelf on and drill
Step 10, Lay the rack down and install the wheels
Step 11, drill air holes in the containers on all 4 sides
