Okay, so the project I’m hoping to build is a c-shape aquarium stand. The aquarium it will be holding up is 9 gallons(34 liter)that will weight approximately 113 lbs (52 kg) when full. It’ll be secured to a stud in the wall with a pretty hefty screw. I kinda want to go for overkill in terms of what the stand could hold in terms of weight.
I’ve included doodles of what I’m imagining and how i might assemble it. I’d use 2X4 lumber, #10 - 4inch steel wood screws(butt joints), 3/8in x 5in steel screws(platforms/squares)and six 10 inch corner braces(reinforce the butt joints).
Would this be more than sufficient for what I aim to do, or should I just go to a steel fabricator and get it done?
