Abstract

A minimum number of economical component parts may easily be assembled at the location of installation to form a tank support assembly which will hold one, two, three or more tanks in a stable and safe manner. The assembly is comprised of a pair of base members, each including a pair of upwardly directed sockets. A vertical post member is inserted into and held within each socket, and flexible support straps are hung between opposed hanger brackets which are affixed to each post member. The tank or tanks are then held in place between the post members on a longitudinally-spaced pair of support straps. The number of tanks which can be supported by the assembly is determined only by the height of the post members and the number of hanger brackets thereon.
