I am building a stand for one of my rain barrels, (full capacity 50
gallons,
or ~ 420 lbs).
I am using 3/4 inch plywood, and plan on supporting it every 60 degrees of
circumference with 2 x 4's withÂ* 2 or 4 in the middle of the circle.
Think this will hold 420 lbs.of water, plus 25 lbs of barrel weight?
(Total=
~455 lbs)
Thank you.


It is really about balance. one 2 x 4 can take the weight but you want
to distribute it evenly.
