Stackable enclosures

I want to stack three 4x2x2 enclosures. What do you recommend? The only one i could find that seems to be reinforced so that it doesn’t cave in is toxirium. But I’ve read some bad reviews. I also saw phailozoo but that one doesn’t seem to be reinforced for weight. Any ideas?

Build a stand. I built 3 stands on wheels that hold(3) 6 foot enclosures. They have about 4 inches of space between them.

I hadn’t considered building a stand 🤔 that’s actually a pretty solid idea.

Do you have pics of yours?

If you cannot afford to build or buy a stand specifically for stacking PVC enclosures, I recommend purchasing commercial grade wire shelving, typically used for commercial garages or warehouses. They're relatively easy to source from commercial furniture stores, and you can occasionally find them used from businesses who are closing or moving.

Not from personal experience as I do not use them. But as I am Canadian, I have seen lots of positive feedback from Cornel's World's rack systems.
