Not completely figured out, and no precise measurements for the basin bracing, but these two frames have the same outer extents as the bottom frame. The top part of the interior structure has over 1600 lbs of material (wood, water, etc). And so, there will be at least 1 beam of L-bracket steel bracing across the middle, shown in ‘shaded perspective view underside’. The basin part will have bracing and the facing will be laser etched acrylic. Or something. I have to figure out the polycarbonate sheet (4′x4′x1/2″), probably needs to be secured somehow. Oy vey, this is a big jobby bob. Ordering wood to arrive on Thurs, and then this will start being built!
