3-Tier Timber Fish Tank Stand

Fish Tank Stands / Heavy Duty Shelving

Prices from R600

All stands are made from H3 treated construction timber.

Construction timber is bulkier and stronger than planed carpentry planks but because it's treated for indoor and outdoor use it's great to use for Fish Tanks or any heavy duty use where the stand /shelves must hold heavy things like garage tools, records, gym weights and dumbbells, etc. Since this is construction timber you will see big exposed knots, slight discrepancies in thickness or width, etc. so the finished product has a more "rustic" or "reclaimed" look to it but make no mistake this is not pallet wood shelving. Each tier holds well over 100kgs without even sagging. Most cheaper shelves starts sagging after 20kgs. The way we make the joints and connections also adds to the strength. The whole stand is designed so the weight is transferred to the wooden posts and not to the screws which are only used to assemble the pieces together.

Since we are making something built to last we offer the option of extra finishes like Stain, Treat and Varnish to disguise the green colour from the already treated wood and to provide extra protection against the elements like the sun and water. We can also treat, stain, oil and wax which provides a more natural look (matte/satin) but doesn't repell water as well as gloss. The other option is paint, recommended for indoor use only since paint offers the least protection and most long term maintenance.

We can add plywood bases for better weight distribution, this is great for fish tanks but not necessary if the tank is built properly and has a polystyrene bottom. For outdoor use we can add slats with gaps in between. Perfect for putting plants on since the water can run through the gaps. The slats are raw industrial wood which has not been planed level so this will not work for fish tanks.

Custom made shelves can be done on request but will take longer and cost about 50% more than our standard sizes which are designed primarily for standard size fish tanks. All our posts and boards are already cut to size and require only assembly and finishes according to orders but please expect a small lead time on all orders of about 48 hours (depending how busy we are)
