Propane box/cover - Aluminum Diamond Plated

[bASS_BLASTER]

I have the plastic one, it works but hard to access and a hassle to take out the tanks to refill.

I'm looking for a custom diamond plate box. I've searched and can't find any. Anyone know where I can get one for 2, 30# tanks?

I have the plastic one that covers my two thirty pound tanks, I used to think the same think, hard to get off, but last time I swapped out and filled a tank, when I put the tank back on I adjusted it in a little, the tanks are a tad closer together, the cover now fits looser, comes right off. I pulled it off the other night to check the fill level in my tanks, it was -2 out and it slid right off. Almost worried about it coming off down the road...

My last house had one and I loved it. It was a simple open, switch lever/tank and close. Also had a pad lock too. My fingers don't work well in minus temps + wind chills and keeping track of the little screw knobs is a challenge.

Hmm? Someone has to know a person who make/sell these.

What do you think it would cost to build? My guess for 1/16 plate alone would be about $100 - $150 wouldn't it?

The price is not for everyone. I can't imagine it being more than $300. Thought I throw my business here but so far no leads. I might just contact a welder.

I've been curious too because I have 2-40#'rs that nobody makes even a rigid plastic cover for so improvising/designing is in my future also. A sheet metal or floor tread box with POR 15 might be an option also, and avoids the headache of maintaining the diamond plate.

I have a welder I worked in the past. He does a great job. He mainly works on boats but I'm sure he can come up with something. I'll keep you posted Hawg.

Thanks. I was just wondering what applications there are for steel boxes that might work. It seems the State has some pretty elaborate covers on things now days, or electricians. Railroad shop? Lockers? Paint cabinet?

Firebrand houses have one, maybe they will sell you one.
