I'm in the process of getting ready to set up an IM 25 lagoon and am mulling over a few ideas for the stand. Is there anyone here who has used a wine barrel as a stand before? just curious to see if it has been done and if so how. I'm also wondering on how to protect the wood from the saltwater, like a special wax finish or something along those lines. Anywho, here's hoping for some advice, thanks!
