Building 5-10 shot racks. Thank you to pyroboom for the great service on the pre made tubes!
Got the plans from a random website. They are probably overbuilt but that's ok with me. Screwed and glued. I didn't use osb on the bottom as I could get all 5 from 1 sheet of ply ( little over 1/2" thick ). As you can see I should have double checked the plans measurements, just a bit too long. I'm going to just add a roman candle holder at the end of each rack that I can use to add a layer during single shell firing. Sides and bottom are 2x3.
Just wanted some feedback on the suitability of the racks.

Glad it gets the pyrotalk thumbs up. I'm taking a quantum leap in fireworks technology this year, going from a stick lighter and a 6 shot fiberglass rack to 50 shots worth of HDPE and hopefully a rigged controller. I put on a small backyard show every year and make safety #1. Never hurts to get the consensus of the group :D

Since I have a bad back, I make mine mostly 6 shot racks. Then I will have three together like this \|/
Or four straight up.||||
Yours look fine from pic, just not for me to lift!
Don't be scared to correct the length thing on your next build, just meaning the double end boards and space. Your back will thank you later.

Unfortunately all 5 will have this fault since I pre made the frames :rolleyes:. Next build I would like to make 10 5 shot racks to mix and match with the 10s for whatever my needs may be.
I'm glad I decided on 5 10s vs 1 50, besides flexibility I'm sure I would despise moving it
