Alrightey, basic paint design for you here
NOTES:
FRONT VIEW
-There MUST be an interior 2x4 inside the outside one.
-If you look at the very bottom of the first pic, notice that there is one 2x4 running all the way up, and one on the inside, underneath the shelf. This interior piece of 2x4 is what is really holding up the shelves.
IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS< THE ENTIRE WEIGHT OF THE TANKS IS ON A COUPLE OF SCREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Screws are shown by the thick black line
Shelf view (From top)
-Each crossing 2x4 will make each shelf more rigid, and will divide the weight up more evenly among the shelf.
-For example, if you were to put a 100 pound rock on the front 2x4, without the crossing ones, all that weight will be on that one, and will cause it to break. With the crossing 2x4 pieces, that front piece is support by the back piece through the crosses. It will not bend with this support.
Thats all i have for now, any question just ask me.
This is exactly how we built the ones at my
LFS, and this is how i built my 120 stand.
