Blue barrel aquaponics stand
Trying to figure out the best way to make a barrel stand run long ways down the greenhouse.
Has to fit 600mm
Barrel is 540mm leaving only 60mm to play with for:
Post
Cross member
Front/back brace
These are my dad's drawings of current idea
Is there alternative ways that we haven't thought of?

What media do you plan on using?
You could incorporate besser blocks as well.

Yeah sorry it's clay balls - I was hoping to use a 6m length of 150x35mm H4 timber down the whole side

Then you should be more than good... I've seen systems with a light timber frame on a few besser blocks. Heck, even half a barrel (spilt length ways) on top of another barrel (standing upright).

Yes but I'm running them long lengths and I want to fit the stand on a 600mm paver
And I want it to have a decking or mini orb front that hinges open outwards for storage and hiding pipe work
Got to look good !)
