skinny Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hi, I need to build a rack out of RHS that will house two 4 x 2 x 2 tanks, one above the other. I am planning on using 50 x 50 RHS but am not sure of the thickness needed. Does anyone use anything similar or have any suggestions. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul. hi Paul 75x25x2.5mm will give you a very strong rack, with no fear of it ever sagging. be sure to have 2 cross bars through the centre [total 4 per tank] black or gal, it's your choice, either way give it a good lick of undercoat and finnish with an epoxy based paint. want to go high class? get it powder coated hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
