I am looking for some answers about the Farm Plus
1) What is the total weight of the farm once put together?
2) What do you think the weight with water added would be?
3) Has anyone found (or have) a stand for it? If so what are the dimensions?
Thank you

Shawn, I'm guesstimating that the weight of the Farm Plus by itself is no more than 25 pounds or so. It holds 4 gallons of water, so that's an additional 32 pounds. We researched online for a piece of furniture to hold it and finally chose this item. It is 48 inches long and 16 inches wide. It holds the Farm Plus, with a little to spare for a jug of water on the side. The baskets are useful for holding my nutrients, seeds, kits, draining tubes, etc. This item came with legs, but we chose not to use them. My husband still had the link for the furniture! www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/charlton-home-santa-cruz-solid-wood-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-55-w001517819.html?piid=386633925Hope this helps! I LOOOOVE my Farm Plus. (The fence is to keep the cats out. It's a husband-invention, held in place by strong magnets on those 4 wooden bars. I wrestle the magnets loose to peel back the fence for harvesting, adding water, and maintenance.)  |

Thanks. That is a bit too long for my space. The shelf/table/rack would have to be no longer then 40" and looking at no more then 20" deep. The height around 16-24". But would also need to hold the unit, water and plants. I know that the requirements are a lot but that is whats needed for the space it would go in.

Shawn, the dimensions of the Farms are as follows:
Farm 36"w 12"/15"d* 22"h 20 lbs
Farm Plus 36"w 12"/15"d* 34"h 22 lbs
Farm XL 36"w 12"/15"d* 45.5"h 43 lbs
* All units are 12" deep. However, the feet on the side uprights are 15" deep where they contact the table.

Hi Shawn,
Did you ever find a good option for the stand?
Thanks. Starting to look myself.

Hi Shawn, Did you ever find a good option for the stand? Thanks. Starting to look myself. Yes, I found the perfect one. It holds 1000lb and is light as a feather (ok not that light  ). |
