Why not use aluminum, stainless or galvanize the metal to prevent rust?
We have explored all of these options but have found metal to be the best and most cost effective way to support the tank. Aluminum – not as strong, more expensive and still will degrade over time Stainless- even more expensive than aluminum and has the above listed drawbacks as well Galvanizing- we tested this process and found that it any some cases would distort the metal due to the high heats associated with the process. We have found that the coating we use will provide the same longevity without the cost and potential compromises to stand.
