Custom Barn-Style Stand

ReefKeeper09 · May 16, 2019

Made a stand to go with my Bow Front tank. My Boss was kind enough to give me the tank since he upgraded to a 200G. So, I had to make a stand to better match where it was going in my house. I've included the videos and a few pictures of the tank that I took along the way as I built it.

Nope! None at all! She is quite happy with it. As am I.

Thank You! Only the 2nd stand I've built. I really tried to go big on this one.

To say this looks amazing is an understatement. It also appears very practical. You could totally sell this design. I wish I had the skills to make something like this.

Very Cute... But not a fan of the electronics showing... Personal preference not a complaint....

Awesome work

Great work OP! Looks well thought out. Looks great and is very functional, with good craftsmanship on the execution too.

I appreciate it. I thought it out quite a bit before I started making it.

That really is nice. Maybe only your second stand, but you For sure have woodworking skills. It looks like to the the right of the tank is the same style door that closes the laundry room, I think.

Love to see a pic of the wall. If I am guessing correct than that is one incredibly nice build.

It's the same as the door to the right of the tank. A fair amount of the house I've made "Barn Style". I'll take a panoramic shot if the wall tomorrow when I have better light. It really looks like a nice center piece.
