What's an 80-20 stand?

I had help getting mine designed from Framing Tech in Rochester, NY. Cost me a little to freight ship it to California but I’m happy with it. It shouldn’t be too bad to Florida I’m assuming. www.framingtech.com

Stand is 60 x 30 x 36 with 6 doors. Back is wide open.

Ask for Anthony if you decide to get a quote from them. Tell him Tim Tran sent you he might charge you extra.

I just got an inital quote from Anthony. There is also a supplier out of Sarasota called 8020.net. My husbands company uses them all of the time. The quote from Framing Tech was not as bad as we feared. LOL We just need to hammer out the details.
What did you use for the floor and the top of the stand?

Anthony did 1/2” HDPE for both the Top and bottom.

Gotcha... I forget that some vendors do MM and some do inches. That is a pretty awesome looking stand. I'm sure it was a pricy investment but it's fabulous. It really is a piece of furniture.

it was over $3k shipped to Los Angeles area =| wish it were more local. I wanted the doors and after pricing out HDPE and sourcing myself, I would not have saved anything, so I decided to have FramingTech do everything and cut to size for me.

When you consider what hobbyists pay for things like Apex and Trident... dropping some cash on the thing that holds up the actual tank does not seem unreasonable to me. It's a showpiece. Really - gorgeous. My husband wants 80/20 for the simplicity, durability and portability. We'll still make it "look" like a wood stand but it won't be. Without the doors, etc... mine is not nearly that much.
To your point, we still have one local quote to get. We always believe in supporting local where possible. That said, Anthony more than earns the business. He is the front runner.

Thanks for posting so many pictures and detail. Even when I started to cool to the idea because of price... my husband looked at yours and said --- keep going. Get a quote, I want that. You should tell Anthony he owes you a beer.
