I gotta build a 8-foot x 4-foot x 2-foot tall stand for a Children's Touch Tank.
Any clue? Sheet of plywood and 4x8 sheet of foam I'm sure, but for the base....
Would Cinder blocks do the job? Only needs to be used for three days

just make sure its leveled and that you have enough support. Shouldn't need too many cinder blocks stacked since its a kiddie touch tank.

What is your contact info and where are you located? I am looking to have a stand made 48.5"widex24.5deepx31" tall, I also would like it covered in a black grained Formica. Can and do you do this work? If so please send contact info.

Thank you,
Brian
