Used baker racks from a resturaunt supply. Never paid more then $100. If they are too narrow i cut them down the middle and make spacers out of copper pipe and pop rivet them back together to the propper width.

They have pretty good stuff. I buy all my squeegees from them.
$180 should be OK.

Why don't you build a drying cabinet and keep them in there?

That really works. On their website the rack is $220. Then the shipping to me is $70. On the ebay site it is $40 for shipping. I will be getting one this week. Maybe two.

Check locally and look for the ones that are solid and not bolt together, way more sturdy.
I paid $75 for mine and wheeled it across the street to my shop.

I bought an old bread rack from a restaurant supply place.  I think I gave the 20 bucks for it.

Works great!!!!!
