| I agree with boomer, alot of the premade stands are 1x4 construction and will work, but if you have overflows or spills, they are more likely to warp, twist or buckle. A DIY stand of 2x4 and/or 4x4 with a plywood or better exterior will be superior. Keep in mind that the stronger stand will generally add more weight to the overall setup. HTH
