Custom Stand/Canopy

[scott11]

Looking at a new project and want to get some ideas of costs. Who in the valley builds custom stands and canopies, and what type of costs are there?

I need something that is furniture grade, it can be all wood, or wood over steel. It will be a cube tank, 30 or 36 inches.

Anyone have a ball park price? Just need to know if its going to be hundreds-low thousand, or several thousand for something nice.

Send a PM to Brad Urbaneks. He builds beautiful wood stands using reclaimed wood. Brad will be building me a stand once my house gets built.

Brad's woodworking skills are top notch. Must be due to his Amish background.
He assisted me with some stand modifications and strengthening the mounting of my light fixture. The initial upfront contract is quite detailed. I needed to hire an attorney to fully understand his NDA and sign off on any damage my house or fish equipment encountered during his work. He also uses what appears to be homemade and proprietary adhesives and project tools. I had to leave during several steps so I couldn't witness his secret processes. The end result is quite nice though. I would recommend his services. JP

Brad built my stand structure for me. Top notch. I will have no problem sleeping at night when my tank (70"x36"x24") gets installed. I wanted Brad to do the finish work, but unfortunately I live too far away for Brad to have the time to do it. I do have a casita, maybe I can have him and his wife move in for the duration. Lol.

I dabble in stand building but its pretty much my own style, and I can't hang with Urbanek's stand cause its godlike. I don't think id go that far for even a stand of my own lol. I don't have much free time at the moment but could help give insight. Working on a 10G stand and a 30G stand shortly.
