Hello?
I?m planning for an outdoor corner install of a Casa2G90 stove. After much consideration of masonry vs. metal stand, I decided to try to design a metal stand. I?m not a metalworker, though I am a woodworker with friends who weld. At least they are friends for now.
So I put together a design and I?m hoping to get some feedback from the forum. I know there are quite a few people out there who have built their own metal stands and I?d appreciate any advice you might have.
A few notes about the materials:
This was also a chance for me to learn to use Google SketchUp for doing 3D renderings. For free software?it?s pretty darn cool.
Thanks for your help,

A few notes about the materials:
- The uprights are 3?x3? steel tube (1/4? thickness)
- The rails are 2?x2? steel tube (1/4? thickness)
- The braces on the top are 1 ? ?x1 ?? steel tube (1/8? thickness)
