i had to add some pieces in to get the length i need. this is all scrap from a stand that i built for a sulfur dioxide tank. the metal is 3/16 walls, and all the flat iron is all 1/4 inch.

well to build it would be about 300 dollars for the cost of materials and labor. shipping might cost more than that though. im guessing it weighs about 70 pounds.
