has anybody ever put a brace between the inside lid and the outside lid...im almost done welding patches and would like to brace the lid to keep the top from dipping in.  I looked and didn't see anything on the subject I have an idea but if somebody has done this before and has a better idea.....im all ears...

                                                          thanks in advance smile

Ah... the only reason they collapse is because some little kid ( or a big dummy) sits on the lid, or uses it for a stepping stool. maybe some self expanding foam would give it some firmness?

Ha Ha well the reason i ask is i have a lot of friends that are big dummies biggrin biggrin
So I figured I would cut the middle man out.  I have a piece of really thin half inch tubing I can make some supports out of...I know its probably not necessary but with my people I hang around with I would rather be safe then sorry.  And thank you for the quick responses I'm sure ill have a bunch more questions before its over with. 
                                                               Thanks again in advance biggrin
