Some of the brewstands I've seen could hold 1000's of pounds literally. I'm not sure what the gauge thickness is of my toolbox, I've never actually measured it. If I had to guess, I would say 12 gauge.
To be clear, I'm not attacking your BrewSteel designs in any way. From what I see, they...
I'm definitely not hating on your designs (or MoreBeer, Sabco and BrewSteel for that matter). You will undoubtedly have to admit that all of your designs are at least a little bit overbuilt for reasons of liability. (Sad, but true statement of our litigious society today)
