glass 78x24x18 Building next week!! heres a replica

[zach c.]

alrighty so the smaller peices are the same width of the bottom peice of glass and the long braces are a little shorter so they lay in between

 

[zach c.]

with a 2" width of all 4 pieces correct?

 

[portabuddy]

so here is a exact list of glass...,

bottom 78"X24" X 1
front/back 78"X18 X 2
sides 24.5"X24" X2

braces,

length wise 74"X2" X4
width wise 24"X2" X4
cross wise 24"X3" X2


that should clear thinks up a bit...

 

[zach c.]

i got the glass cut list for the tank its self on garf my side peices are the exact same width of the bottom so they will be attatched 1st then last is thing is my front/back that get glued on
Bottom = 77 1/2 " x 23 1/2"
Front = 78 " x 18"
Back = 78 " x 18"
2 Sides = 18 " x 23 1/2"

 

[zach c.]

my sides lay in between the front and back

 

[portabuddy]

whatever same thing, if you go that way then the outside of your tank is 78", my way the inside is 78". its up to you, just adjust a bit,

I dont like the way they tell you to do it, you end up with more complicated mesurements...

 

[portabuddy]

my sides lay in between the front and back

is the glass cut?

 

[zach c.]

how do u get complicated measurments? the peices should go right together if theyre cut the way garf site suggest wont it?

 

[portabuddy]

please answer the question...

if the glass is cut then you need

4 of 73.5X2 <not even numbers...
4 of 23.5X2
2 of 23.5X3


there are 20 ways to set up braces and every way it will work...

 

[zach c.]

its not cut yet but when i do get it cut and lay the peices out on the grass they would look like this with the sides width even to the base and they would go up 1st and then the front and back go on last
