T and Toni - Sounds like a new singing duo sensation, or should it be Toni & T? I purchased 4 from the EB research center. I don't think they were ever available at the 800 number. Let me see if I can find a picture. I hope the attached one shows them OK. All they are is an aluminum frame with casters that the EB sits in. Then you have 1/2" or 3/4 aluminum tubing that goes into a channel in the frame and up around and down the other side. They don't roll very well in the grass but they are great on a hard surface. I wheeled them in and out of the house a bunch last year and I'll be rolling three of them in tomorrow. I didn't buy anymore. I'm making my own out of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC. I'll be able to add to them at anytime, making them higher, wider, or whatever I need to support the maters. No wheels. If you want to roll them around in the grass just make a wood platform with wide rubber tires on it

I don't know if they are still selling them or not. They have lots of wooden things to hold EBs. A wheelbarrow, raised boxes (about 3' high) and other fancy ones. They are made from cypress and are a tad pricy. You can see a couple of them on their homepage at earthboxresearch.com
Their phone number there is 1-800-821-8838. I'm going to call them Monday and see if the automatic watering valves are shipping yet. If you haven't called them yet, I'll ask if they still have the aluminum stands. Ed
