Have you considered adding four more pieces of angle to make it an octagon it sits on instead of a square, It would add strength.

John,
Outside of the obvious, what is the barrel stand's purpose? We can see it's to hold a barrel up, but why does it need to be raised? Is it a burn barrel and needs air to pass under, or for collecting rain water, or some other reason? Just curious.
Nice job by the way.

I think the guy will cut slots in the bottom for vents.
I'm not really sure.
It was just a quick fab job for a friend.

I usually just cut holes in the bottom with an O/A torch and set a burn barrel up on a couple bricks, but the stand would work too.
