To place a box fan at “simply this height” or “simply that angle” without danger of catastrophe, take a half hour to develop this adjustable stand.You’ll require:
■ 2 3-in. x 3/4-in. x 38-in. boards for the risers
■ 2 5-in. x 3/4-in. x 22-in. boards for the feet
■ One 3-in. x 3/4-in. stretcher board cut the very same width as the fan
■ 2 5/16-in. x 1-1/2 in. carriage bolts, washers and wing nuts Mark and drill a number of 1-in. spaced 3/8-in. holes on the upper ends of the risers for changing the fan height.
Screw the risers to the stretcher board with 2 2-in. drywall screws on each end, then saw curved ends and a 14-in. x 1-in. deep recess on the feet boards. Screw them to the risers with 4 2-in. drywall screws.
Mark and drill a 3/8-in. hole midway on the fan’s vertical sides, then get rid of one grating from package fan to move in the carriage bolts, threads pointing external. Identify the fan height you require, then connect the fan with wing nuts. Put it to work and you’ll offer reader Charles Oursler a standing ovation for creating a superb fan device for store or house usage.
