Hi All,

My swamp cooler (Champion RWC50) is hanging from chains
in my window. Probably be a good idea to put it in
a stand.

Any kits for that out there?

Many thanks,

I didn't see any, online. Jes get some angle iron and a welder
(rent?) or a drill motor, drill bits, and SS fasteners. It's the
perfect excuse to waste money on a electric hand bandsaw:

Hi NotBob,

Cool. Thank you.

My neighbor's father is the quintessential handy man and
loves projects like this. I will hire him. He has
any and every kind of cool tool you can think of!

Should I put a cement pad under it?

Depends on the soil where you live. I have hard mountain rocky/clay
soil, so things like cement deck blocks would work fine:

If you have screw hooks into the window frame with chains that will hold 250 lbs that will work if the window sill is strong enough to support 250 lbs which should be easy to handle unless rotted.
As for a stand I would use wood but not a complete base/ top as the drain is usually on the bottom of them and the water will rot the wood very fast.. PVC makes a great stand if used with stakes to anchor it to the ground, it is not harmed by water however sunlight will harm some,spray paint will alleviate this.

Not yet, but that is my concern

why not use a second set of chains attached about 6 inches back from the
first set on the cooler and about 12 inches offset outside the window
attachment

It cools the swamp. Check it out on a search engine.

Home Guy from Canada didn't understand it either.
