Re: DIY enclosure stack plans...tell me what I missed

My only two cents. I'd be .. careful about attaching the stack to the wall, if you could keep it stable without that, and have the stack on large casters. You might be able to avoid a potential escape to the back of the stacks and not be able to retrieve in a timely manor. Snakes love tight spaces remember .

wall attachment for tall furniture is usually just basically a tether that screws into a stud. It prevents a topple is all. Most larger dressers or wardrobes come with them and we all throw them in the trash.

I thought about casters too but they do diminish the weight distribution. Your frame needs to be extra rigid then. If you look at most high weight capacity shelving, the bottom rails sit on the ground. With that said, If I do shelving for a good bit below and spread my stacks wider, the weight will be less and casters might be an option.
