72 gallon bow stand build

I started a stand for my newly drilled 72 bow tank.I made it 3 ft high because I'm taller and I think it looks better.I started off with 3/4 inch cabinet grade ply wood cut with jig saw.it has smooth finish and I plan on painting it black.Im also using 2x3 for the structure.I plan on cross bracing it tomorrow so I will keep you all posted.by the way the canopy is going to be painted black and its plastic.what do you guys think so far?

 

nicely done. looks good. its side to side bracing your doing too? wouldnt want any sway. also is it gonna stay open? or plans to skin it and doors?

 

Yea it will be overbuilt. the the front will have a 18 inch door but sump will fit from behind I'm hoping to get all rough done by tomorrow.

 

Nice work. Looks great so far!

 

That's going to be nice! I wish mine was taller just for maintaining purposes.

 

Yea I'm 6'3" and I hate bending lol
