I have been meaning to get around to this, but just couldn't get it done. This weekend I managed to build it, paint it, and put it into position. This will be my first overflow/sump setup.

6 4x4 posts and 2x4 construction with osb top and bottom.

Not sure why the pics won't rotate properly...using the app from my phone att.

Well done. That stand is way more stout than the commercially available ones. You won't have a problem at all.

Looks very well done. What tools did you use to cut the notches on the 4x4's?

Sorry I missed this. I used a circular saw and chisels. I made about 10 or so cuts across the 4x4's and then used the chisel to knock the beads down and smoothed it put with a rasp.
