Hello, I've been looking to build my own stand to house my bettas After thinking about it. I finally asked my friend with all the tools to help me out and this is so far what we have:
The dimensions of the stand are 38"X16"X36"
I used 2X4's and 2.5inch screws
If anyone is experienced with building, what do you think the maximum weight for the shelves would be. My friend said it could easily hold 400lbs but would that weight distribute easily?
I plan to make it similar looking to this:
with (2) 5.5 gal tanks on top, side by side. (1) 2.5 gallon on the middle shelf to the left, and (1) 2.5 gallon tank on the bottom to the right.
I do see what your talking about. I see the shelves are only sustained by the screws. How should I add extra support? Should I cut more 2X4 to put in between the openings, like this?
