I was originally planning on Rotary, but I'm intrigued with the relatively new BP 10APX-181. A friend who owns a shop with both also told me that he prefers his BendPak lifts to his Rotary. I see mixed reviews on BendPak customer service, but when I got in touch with Rotary yesterday to ask some...

Thanks for showing an option. I'll have to weigh pros/cons of something like this vs ceiling fans with lights hanging to avoid the flicker.

Seems that I just need to change my mind on lights being mounted directly to the ceiling. I'll hang them below where fans will be. I saw your post about the 10' fan from HD and very tempted to get some of those. I'm hoping that I can get good enough air flow using 4 of those. Based on some data...

I've got a couple of older Visions that I bought used, but almost all of my others I picked up at their facility about 2-3 years ago. I do know a rotomolder so maybe I'll actually check to see what the tooling cost would be to mold a "tub" that could be used for large enclosures. It could...

Thanks for your thoughts on this. Although I've never done this in the past, I think this is how SD did their enclosures (or possibly PVC?), so I'll have to ask them about their experience. I have built enclosures that are entirely HDPE and so far haven't had any issue with the welds, but I'm...

Will be very interested to see your videos! I know Ed & Emily pretty well and have been there a number of times. I have also stopped into Universal Rock and they are very nice folks. I have picked up some surplus "rocks" that I have made into hides.

I've already read through a bunch of fan threads, but have some questions that I haven't seen answers to. My shop is 58 x 48 with 18' wall height & flat ceiling. I'd like HVLS fans, but thinking that I'll need to keep them relatively small in order to avoid light flickering effect. My lights...

Glad that I stumbled upon this thread. I'm in the process of having a pole building built that will include a shop area and my reptile room along with office & some living space above the reptile room. In the future, I'll be building some large enclosures since I will now have space for that. I...
