azzah Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I made a 3 tiered rack a few weekends ago based on the BaZrack as shown here this design is for 4 foot tanks. The design was really easy and with the help of a mate who is a carpenter we put it together in less then an hour I want to make another one but make it for some 5 foot tanks that I have which are 5x18x18 will it be fine if I just extend the length of the rack to 5 foot or will the extra foot on each tank mean that I need to think about extra support for the added weight.

Colfish Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 it's going to be very difficult catching fish in a 5ft bazrack setup. considering the floorspace this rack will occupy, why not use conventional 3 teir racks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I am guessing you want to use the plans for a 4 foot bazrack but make it at 5 foot long, is that right? If so I would say yes it would be OK. If you are worried the use 45x90mm beams instead of 35x90mm. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzah Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 it's going to be very difficult catching fish in a 5ft bazrack setup. considering the floorspace this rack will occupy, why not use conventional 3 teir racks The 5x18x18 tanks I have are divided into two sections being 2.5 ft long so wont be hard at all I am guessing you want to use the plans for a 4 foot bazrack but make it at 5 foot long, is that right? If so I would say yes it would be OK. If you are worried the use 45x90mm beams instead of 35x90mm. Josh I was thinking about doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
