How big do you want to go, I've got one, two 2 gallon barrels, in the for sale section. Also have a double barrel, one gallon each a ways back in homemade. I'd be glad to help any homebuilder w/a project based on my design. These units are very durable. It's easy to build one using 4" pvc pipe and hardware parts.

Superstrut?? Used in electrical work like fastening conduit to a wall?

Yes it is, like a giant erector set. You can get it at most big hardware stores and probably anywhere that sells to electricians. There is a plethora of fittings. Pillow blocks, motors, etc bolt right on. Steve

Yeah, it's great and you can take it all apart if you change designs later on. Make sure you use the square nuts with the springs for any strut to strut fittings or the bottoms will spread out slightly. I don't think there is any harm in that, just a matter of preference. It's still stronger than anything out there unless you go welded angle iron. Steve
