Build my Stand of WOOD or STEEL?

[pennyguy23]

What do you guys think. Wood or Steel stand. What do you have and why do you like it. Thank everyone

Lots of folks here have built really well laid out wood stands and I am sure if they will have no problems. Mine will be steel. 2" square tube and powder coated. But, that's because my brother in law runs a metal fabrication shop so, relatively speeking, this will be one the least expensive components in my system. And, with that connection why skimp?

Ya I have a friend thats a welder also. Thats why I even asked because I could build it out of wood but I will be moving in two years so I thought I could use the Steel stand over and over again

I have an 11 guage 2x2 inch tubular steel stand. Weighs about 100lbs, I have adjustable height legs so that I can raise or lower the tank as I move around. I love it.

Any pictures of the adjustable legs? Sounds like a great idea!

Doesn't rust.
