Re: Tank rack ideas
Eric's way is a good way. Willie's way is the best way. I'm sure that both ways are overkill. When I had my racks made, I insisted that they were supported by the slab which is Willie's way

Thanks Liz. Made me really work at looking at Willie's black wood pics. I think that's very similar to what I had in mind to begin with.

Re: Tank rack ideas
If you want your racks to last until the end of time, Willie way is the only way

Re: Tank rack ideas
If you have the tools, dados (what Eric and Kevin alluded to) offer the best mix of strength, weight, and aesthetics.
Willie's design is also very good, but I would recommend adding gussets to the back corners (same with dadoed racks). The racks will be much heavier than the other two designs mentioned, but it's not like they get moved a lot.
Jeep's design is also good, and the supporting blocks can be supplemented with bolts for peace of mind if necessary.
The most important thing is to be patient picking out the 2x4's. Try to shop a new pile with dry wood to save trouble later assembling the racks.
