diy 48x24 stand

[Jaftica]

does anyone know if i build a stand using 2x4's and finish the outside with plywood, and molding if its possible to NOT have a vertical center brace in the front between the doors,

If using 2x4 you can go up to 48" in length without a center brace, providing you build it right.

i will take some pics as im building it, i was thinking a couple verticals in the back would be plenty, it should also prevent any racking.

If you go with 3/4" plywood, the 2x4s are practically just a redundancy. I had a 90 gallon on a cabinet like this.

I reinforced the frame with 2x4's.
