How to Build a Fish House on Wheels

Fish houses are places where you can create an aquarium environment for saltwater or fresh water fish. You can include anything that you would with any regular aquarium, but it is recommended that you do not fill up the aquarium until you place it on the wheeled platform. In order to have a fish house, or aquarium, on wheels, you must build the platform with the wheels already attached before placing the fish aquarium on top of the platform.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the area of your fish tank. Measure out the appropriate area on to the plywood.

    • 2

      Cut four pieces of plywood the area of your fish tank.

    • 3

      Nail all four pieces together stacked up. This will provide the base of your wheeled platform. There should be at least four nails to each side of the platform holding the platform together.

      Turn the platform over and attach the wheels to the platform with the wheel mounts.

      Place the slip-proof mat on top of the platform. Cut it down to size if needed. Don't worry if the mat is smaller than the fish tank.
