November 7, 200817 yr I'm trying to design a stand for a barrel so that it lays horizontal, but so far have only drawn blanks. Help!
November 7, 200817 yr Basically, you could build something like a rack for a 55 gallon drum, except embellish as desired with twists, maybe rivet the cross supports into place. I think you would just need two semicircles attached to legs to cradle the drum, with cross bracing to make it sturdy. What will the drum be holding? If it's for wine, maybe embellish with grapevine and leaf clusters along the legs. Details, man, details..........what will it's primary purpose be, maybe more ideas would come if we know what you are trying to accomplish in the end. Edited November 7, 200817 yr by keykeeper
November 7, 200817 yr Most I have seen are just two X.s made from wood with crosspieces. The Xs usually half lapped for the joints. This is what is generally seen in LH groups for drinking water barrels.
November 7, 200817 yr a stand for barrels is a stillage if you look up ,barrel stillage i am shure you will come up with some ideas.
