![]() 4x4's are generally more expensive then 2x4's so I'd stay away from them.
You can easily achieve the same results with 2x4's Heres an actual model of the frame on my tank to give you and idea to work with. ![]() Oh and just in case you did'nt know 2x4's are actually 1.5 x 3.5.

![]() ok well, i think i'm going to end up building the stand before we move and just tossing it in the furnace room til moving day. there's a ton of spare 2x4s upstairs. my husband says he'll start on it tonight.

![]() yeah but the stand needs to be assembled before we move because we can't build it on our moving day because all the tools are where we're at
