there are many post on here that you can use to make your stand out of wood. 4x4 post and 2x6 beams will work. i made my 6 post out of triple 2x4 to make 4x6, glued and screwed. i also used 2x8 for the beams, glued and lag bolted to the other beams and bolted to the 4x6... this will hold up a house. like ive been told on here, "remember that a normal house is made up of 2x4 and nails" my house survived 80 to 90 miles per hours winds from hurrican charlie. just look around and you'll find and world of information. i have been told that my stand can hold 4 times the weight im going to have.
