Help! DIY stand in Houston

Elsa Vasquez · Feb 5, 2018

Anyone in the Houston area available to build me a custom stand?? I have the IM Lagoon 25 and rather have one built than pay $300 for the stand that was intended for it... I would buy all the necessary parts and hoping labor won’t cost me too much. I would greatly appreciate it!

If you don't get any takers, I'm sure you can get it made yourself. There are plenty of guides online and a lot of people here that are happy to assist with any questions that might come up. It's not that hard, more a question of being thorough and to measure consistently.

Aww Thanks!!! I actually like building things specially cuz I’m picky with everything! I just don’t have the equipment to cut everything into the dimensions I want. I have a small dremel tool which I’m sure I’d need a dewalt for all the screws but it would be a great experience to do it myself. So definitely will get it started myself if I don’t find anyone

Not sure what the situation is in Houston but where I live there are places where you can rent power tools (and other tools) pretty cheap by the day or hour. And yes, Dewalt is awesome but you don't need to go high end if you're not a pro or using it daily IMO.

Honestly im not wanting anything crazy just a stand that’ll fit he dimensions of the tank. I’ve seen several YouTube videos of how I would like it to look lol! That would be awesome if you could help! What area in Houston are you located?
