Well as some of you know I've been sitting on Parson's eggs waiting for them the hatch. Since I had a little time to think while waiting I pondered how I would attempt to create an enviroment to control temps and to house 30+- babies. This process has taken a while to get where it is today.
I started out with a bare bones garage, I framed the ceiling added lights,plugs,insulation,drywall,paint and sweat. Then I started on the MEGA RACK!! I was originally going to make it out of wood but was really struggling with the final design and the fact it was only going to hold 36 cages. Then I had an idea! Make it out of Unistrut or Super Strut as it's called at HD.
Here are some pictures of the build in process.
The drainage tray was the hard part of this build. I used 4x8 sheets of 6mil Coroplast. I cut through one side only and folded it over to create a tray. Since my rack is 9' long I had to join another piece on to the first. I used nylon box rivets and silicone to do this. Getting things "just right" with coroplast is a pain in the...you know what.
Top rack done onto the bottom.
