alanmin4304 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 The metal would probably cost more than that unless you live by a sharp corner and have speeding trucks up the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I got a stand made by my brother for cost. 2100 mm tall 1700 long 300 wide it holds 9 tanks @ 520x300x300 and space for shelf at bottom. Cost $300 for all the materials and reckens that its worth $550 in his shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Betta Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I brought 20x 2.4m long 40x40 3mm box section second hand for $200 and welded this up one saturday afternoon with my dad. Definitely have to factor in the cost of welding rods and powerbill from the arc welding, a certed welder and welding gear etc. Maybe finding a welder who could weld it up for you, but asking them what they recommend for it and shop around a bit. See if you can find some second hand steel or something and make it a bit cheaper than buying brand new steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Unless it was going on a very strong concrete floor I would suggest you also include a ring around the bottom to better distribute the weight or all that weight will be transposed onto six square inches and that will be a lot of force, particularly on a timber floor.
