# How to Make a Water Dispenser Stand
A water dispenser stand is a great way to keep your water dispenser off the ground and make it more accessible. It can also help to prevent the dispenser from tipping over and spilling water. Making a water dispenser stand is a relatively simple project that can be completed in a few hours.
## Materials
To make a water dispenser stand, you will need the following materials:
2×4 lumber (4 pieces, each 36 inches long)
2×6 lumber (2 pieces, each 24 inches long)
1×4 lumber (2 pieces, each 18 inches long)
1/2-inch plywood (1 piece, 24 inches x 24 inches)
Wood screws (2-inch and 3-inch)
Wood glue
Clamps
Saw
Drill
Countersink bit
Screwdriver
## Instructions
1. Cut the 2×4 lumber into four pieces, each 36 inches long. These pieces will form the legs of the stand.
2. Cut the 2×6 lumber into two pieces, each 24 inches long. These pieces will form the side supports of the stand.
3. Cut the 1×4 lumber into two pieces, each 18 inches long. These pieces will form the front and back supports of the stand.
4. Assemble the legs of the stand by attaching the side supports to the legs with 2-inch wood screws. Be sure to use wood glue to secure the joints.
5. Clamp the legs together and allow the glue to dry.
6. Once the glue has dried, attach the front and back supports to the legs with 3-inch wood screws. Be sure to use wood glue to secure the joints.
7. Clamp the supports together and allow the glue to dry.
8. Cut the 1/2-inch plywood into a 24-inch x 24-inch square. This piece will form the top of the stand.
9. Attach the plywood top to the supports with 2-inch wood screws. Be sure to use wood glue to secure the joints.
10. Clamp the top to the supports and allow the glue to dry.
11. Once the glue has dried, your water dispenser stand is complete.
## Tips
You can use any type of wood to make your water dispenser stand, but pine is a good option because it is inexpensive and easy to work with.
If you want to give your stand a more finished look, you can paint or stain it.
Be sure to measure the height of your water dispenser before you build the stand so that you can make it the correct height.
If you are using a heavy water dispenser, you may want to add additional support to the stand by adding a cross brace between the legs.
## Conclusion
Making a water dispenser stand is a simple and inexpensive project that can help to keep your water dispenser off the ground and make it more accessible. By following the instructions in this article, you can easily build a stand that will meet your needs.
