Token - very good advice, I haven't started the stand or purchased the materials, so I have no problem revisiting the design. I'm always open to suggestions (I maybe an engineer but wood/plumbing is not my forte
) I’m going to take a look at your suggestions and see if I can decipher – we’ll see what I come up with. Later today I’ll have a new design and we’ll see if it can withstand hurricanes
