Custom built stands and canopies.

[pidge]

I build custom stands and canopies. I can build any dimension, any species, any design features. I am in the hobby so I know what needs to go into the the stand/canopy to make things easier and more functional. I have been doing it for a long time and I always "over build" them. I want it to be a piece of furniture that will last you for years upon years. I guarantee they will not be "cheesy" and will be very well built. I put a lot of love into each piece that leaves my shop. Let me know if you are interested and hopefully we can work together soon!

What do you want it made out of? Do you want it finished or painted?

Have you ever built one with magnetic wraps? I would like to be able to take the front panel completely off, but still have doors for typical maintenance.

I have not. I would not recommend it though as the wood will tend to warp in time and pull away from the magnets. My lfs has the same basic thing, and the wood has totally warped and the panel doesnt even stay on anymore. I can however build it so you have access to the entire inside of the stand. The stand i built for myself i put doors on all of the sides. The doors themselves were 20" ea on the front of a 48" tank so getting things in and out is very very easy.

Have any pictures of your work?

What about removable hinges like my server racks are built? They have a post inside the hinge that I can pull up and release the door.

That will work. Blum hinges are very easy to remove.

I can get you some more pictures/references if you need them. I built GrimmReefers stand and canopy. BTW how are those corals I gave you?

Either way we can figure something out that will work for you.

This is the most recent one that I built. The tank is a 60 gallon hex with led lighting. In the canopy I put a hole and wire system so that she would be able to move the light up and down 3". The picture is pretty crummy, but of course the last time I went out there I for got my camera and had to use my phone
