Stand or not for huge plywood tank
- Thread starter SeabeeShrek
- Start date
That top window frame puts it at four and a half feet tall. There will be a 2x6 overlay around the whole tank. That will be where the cross braces will go. I’m thinking about putting in a total of 4, doubled up 2x8’s 74” long. Gonna notch them to fit over the top rails.
I have most of my post Hurricane Ian repairs just about caught up. I’ll be starting back up on this tank within the next week or two.
Hopefully I will be to the point of fiberglassing and waterproofing over Christmas break.

This tank will be enclosed, but here in SWFL, we usually keep our lanai sliding doors open all winter. It shouldn’t be a problem.
Going shopping Friday for the lumber. I will have to use a work truck to haul it home.
