Steel stand

[Chris&Carol]

I was thinking of building my own aquarium stand, using 1.25" square tube .110 wall thickness

I would do a top / bottom complete frame which would be supported by 6 legs, 2 on each end 2 in the center, plus angled pieces on the top corners as well as back / front supports....

Anyone have any idea what kind of weight this would support? final size would be 85 1/4"l x 24"w x 32"h

From what i have seen most of these stands are just made with 1 1/4" .100 angles.

Thanks

I don't build stands professionally, but if it helps I can tell you that SoCalCreations is using 1.5" square tube on a top/bottom frame with 8 vertical supports for the stand on my 84"x36"x26".

The 8 vertical supports were needed because of how I wanted my doors done - not sure if they were truly needed or if 6 would have been good enough.
