1. A modular stand for supporting a modular HVAC system at an elevated position above a support surface, the modular stand having an axial dimension and a transverse dimension, the stand comprising:
a first inverted U-bar including first and second opposing leg members, each of the opposing first and second leg members including a vertical segment continuously transitioning to a horizontal segment, the first inverted U-bar including a first generally horizontal extension member, the first generally horizontal extension member having a first end telescopically received within the horizontal segment of the first opposing leg member and a second end of the first generally horizontal extension member telescopically received within the horizontal segment of the second opposing leg member; a second inverted U-bar axially spaced apart from the inverted first U-bar, the second inverted U-bar including third and fourth opposing leg members, each of the opposing third and fourth leg members including a vertical segment continuously transitioning to a horizontal segment, the second inverted U-bar including a second generally horizontal extension member, the second generally horizontal extension member having a first end telescopically received within the horizontal segment of the third opposing leg member and a second end of the second generally horizontal extension member telescopically received within the horizontal segment of the fourth opposing leg member; at least one support peg attached to each horizontal segment and extending in an axial direction; first and second cross rails extending in the axial direction between the first and second inverted U-bars, the first and second cross rails transversely spaced apart from each other, the first and second cross rails each defining an inverted generally U-shaped channel; the inverted generally U-shaped channel of the first cross rail having a first end receiving and supported on one of the at least one support peg on the first inverted U-bar and a second end receiving and supported on one of said at least one support peg on the second inverted U-bar; and the inverted generally U-shaped channel of the second cross rail having a first end receiving and supported on another one of said at least one support peg on the first inverted U-bar and a second end receiving and supported on another one of said at least one support peg on the second inverted U-bar; wherein each of the first and second opposing leg members includes a bend having a radius of curvature between the respective vertical segment and the respective horizontal segment; wherein each of the third and fourth opposing leg members includes a bend having a radius of curvature between the respective vertical segment and the respective horizontal segment. |
