JellyBelly Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi, Wondering if i could get some help. I'm looking to use this structure for a window display. I have since been told I cannot fix into the floor as my math's is poor i cant calculate if this will support itself Structure uses standard key-clamp tube and fittings. I've got a rough calculation for the overall weight. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy L Dennison Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 It doesnt look stable to me. You need another leg going in the other direction, at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy L Dennison Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Its better, but not far enough, its not balanced. I think you should try to make it equal distance from the center line, if possible. I dont know what limitations you are under. You could incorporate a few 45° angle braces giving it strength. From my experience in construction, you can make a wall stand in high winds with a couple 45° braces attached from the highest point possible to the floor. Very stable if you give it a wide footprint. If its not possible to add that much structure, then adding heavy weights on top of yhe feet to hold it down is an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
