Seeing as how I cannot buy a desk for My needs. I will explain why. I have 101" of width to work with. In this space I have to fit 3 pc's a set of drawers, a printer, and two subs for the audio, one of which is an 8" jvc home surround. Thank you for posting. Wanna come over and do it for me? ;) I came across this and I am going to try it. Seeing as how I cannot buy a desk for My needs. I will explain why. I have 101″ of width to work with.

I would think that you could use some basic chain-link fencing materials to do this. The flanges might be similar in price but replacing the full-tube style tees with the pipe-end and strap method that chain link fencing uses should yield a pretty solid structure at a fraction of the cost. 10 kee klamp tee are $100 shipped! did you pick the kee klamp brand for a specific reason?

You won't find them in big box stores, that's why our site is so popular, this is one of the few places you can get them.. in the selection that we have. I didn't really use any exact measurement for the distance between the legs. I just wanted it to be sturdy and so placed them every two or three feet. A 2 level desk could be done, in fact I have an add-on shelf for mine that I haven't gotten around to installing quite yet. The best way would be to canteliver it off of two of the legs with a L10-7 fitting.. a pipe sticking out and the a L70-7 fitting Attach the shelf with the two screw holes and the slip the pipe through the fitting. For an added touch I'd bet some pipe caps (like the ones for the legs) to stick in the end of the pipes for aesthetic value. If you end up making that shelf, let me know.. I'd really like to feature it on the blog. @Tony

Are all Kee Klamp parts only available online or are there brick and mortise vendors? Also, how did you figure the distance necessary between each leg? I'm planning a 2 level desk, is there something I should I should consider? The second level won't be for displays, those are mounted on the wall, it will be used for external drives, docking stations, etc, so not extreme weight. Very nice.

I'm wanting to extend some of the pipe up through the desk to use as support for a monitor arm/shelves while still supporting the desktop.

I enjoyed this article, to the point where I got inspired and am now building my own desk after my old staples particle board desk got partially destroyed during a move. It's quite different from yours, (for starters it's a corner desk) but then variety is the spice of life. When I finish I plan on putting pictures up, and if anyone is interested in seeing it i'll post another comment with a few links. Hello!
