A place to discuss aquaponics

Yep, imaging climbing up on them exposed ends, to tie up some beans or tomatoes, and the legs just fold over

Imagine someone else climbing up on them exposed ends, to tie up some beans or tomatoes, and it folding over your legs while you stood there watching them...

F&F's right, and it would be more than 500kg due to the "lever"action i think.

chappo, f&F's not talking about gross stand strength or collapse, merely "tippability"

cross bracing will not change the balance point

OOPS,,, ,,my error,,,I was worried about the uprights spliting away from the horizontal bars if any pressure apllied horizontally,,,,T becomes[i]T[/i]

So basically the theory is that they appear to have the stands fairly right....

It is expanded clay in the system, so there isn't to much weight on the stands even when they are full of water.

change frightens some people
