Default stand

use a double 2x6 front and back-with 2x6 joists every 12 inches supported by joist hangers-make sure your ends are supported by at least 4 inches(triple instead of double-its bit of over kill but it's better to have more

I'm no engineer,but I think the design in the vid would work fine..only thing I would change is the supports(as mentioned above) I'd use L type corners with 2 x 6 instead of posts.
