adjustable feet for DIY stand

Dave Allen · 06-20-2012, 06:18 PM

Hey all,

I'm finishing up a ADA-style stand and am looking for some advice. I live in an older house with uneven floors. Does anyone recommend any adjustable furniture feet? I looked at the Home Depot selection and was worried about them supporting the weight of a fwater-filled 18 gallon tank.

Any cost-effective and sightly recommendations from the DIY stand crowd?

Thanks!

Check out Graingers.com, I made a metal tube stand and used a set from them. Be prepared however to see prices of ~50 for the 4 though

http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...3&site=ROCKLER - Each level 600 lb. I am using these on stand for a 75G.

If I weren't at work (hehe) I'd take a picture of the stand. The bottom is two 3/4" ply pices, so the feet would likely have to screw into that. I don't know if the grainger feet would work (though they look really tough). The Rocklers look more like what I want, but they'd have to go on the outside. I just wish I had built the stand so that they could be mounted inside out of sight.

Has anyone seen anything similar that just mount to the bottom?

Those Rockler ones are the ones I have used. If you attach a Toe Kick frame under the stand, around 3" high, you can use those.
