Hello everyone! I need some help with building a stand. I am so horrible with construction, the things I have built in the past I wouldn't dare trust putting my beardies on top of. I know that there are alot of you out there who are experts at woodworking/building this kind of stuff so I was hoping one(or some) of you might be able to help.
The stand needs to be 48in long x 30 in wide x 30 in tall. It's going to be just 2x4's and plywood. Also I want to stack 2 tanks on it, the bottom tank will be 48x30x18, and the top one will be 36x30x24. I was told that if I put the 36 on top of the 48 that I need to make a brace for it, would it be okay if there was just a piece of wood under it or what? I didn't understand what they meant by brace?
It doesn't have to look pretty. So long as it's strong and functional I'll be happy.
Any help on this would be so great! I'm totally lost here.
