    500 gallon reverse flow build

    I have 3/16 angle 1 by 1. The expanded metal looks to be 3/4" flat expanded metal. Not sure on the gauge but it's around an 1/8". I can measure it ltr if needed.

    500 gallon reverse flow build

    Thanks for the welcome. I'm using 6 inch cause that's what I have. My brother is wanting this for his church and the materials are donated for the most part and it's up to me to make it work. I do have some extra plate I could make a rectangle box stack.
