They actually sell a stand for them... it is really short (8"... but when you have a floor to ceiling stack like I do now it is really nice)

48" x 24" plastic tables with the folding legs also work great... I have found some cheap ones at Walmart in the past

Heat panels add to the cost, but work slightly better than UTH's... that said most of my cages use the UTH (11" flexwatt) that Animal Plastics sells as a add on to the T8
