Small Tub Rack

For the small tub rack you will need:
· 4 – tubs (27 ½” x 19 ¾” x 6”)
· 8 – 2” x 2” x 8’
· 3 – 1” x 2” x8’
· 1 – 2” x 4” x 8’
· 4 – 19 ½” x 28 ½” pieces of hardware cloth
· 1 – staple gun and box of ½” staples
· 4 - pieces cardboard (¼” thick)
· 1- box 2 ½” screws

Cuts needed for small rack:
· A 8 – 19 ¾” x 2” x 2”
· B 8 – 26” x 2” x 2”
· C 4 – 16 ¾” x 2” x 2”
· D 4 – 12” x 2” x 2”
· E 8 – 28” x 1” x 2”
· F 4 – 48” x 2” x 2”
· G 2 – 28” x 2” x 4”

A, B, C, & D are used to make the shelf.
E makes the slide for the tubs.
F Is the legs.
G goes at the bottom of the legs to prevent sway and act as a base.

The only difference between setup on the large & small rack is where you make the marks on the legs.

Mark the legs at 3”, 12”, 21”, and 30”. Assemble identical to large rack.

Rat Rack Side View

On the small racks I have used 1x4's run directly center on the sides (for bracing and to prevent 1x2's warping).
