Well this was the first time i had tried it so i had a carpenter help me :o
So it wasnt all me.
Now i have seen people do it by just bolting the 90x45cm crossbeams to the posts but i thought it would be alot stronger this way and worth the extra time.

If anyone is going to make one just msg/email me and ill see if i can help you. Just dont rush the measurements as i did about 4 different plans because i was leaving out a gap between the tank and the crossbeam and other stupid things.

Pics too comes soon when i paint it.

Good one Scott. This is a very well written article. It will be a big help to all our DIY fans.

did you snap any coachscrews?

i always think i am a superhero and snap the top of them.

those things SUCK to drill out.

i use bolts now, just because if i snap the top of with my super human strengh i can hammer it out from the other end.

post some pics man i am very interested. :wink:

For those of you who noticed there is a bit of a mistake in the first paragraph where i write the measurements as 900x450 which might be a tad too big :wink: just thought id state that.

Ryan - Because this stand is already done its hard to take good pics because i painted it black. Iam knocking up a breeding rack soon which i will do progress pics too and write another article for.

just because we can't see before and after dose not mean we don't want to see the final product

POST PICS


and don't forget to post pics of before and after of the breeding rack
