Has anyone made a gas pump island display with a raised island? I am looking for photos and ideas on what you made the island out of. No concrete. Looking for movable options. Replies appreciated...Mike

This build has an island, I think it is raised.

When I paved the driveway to my shop we formed up an oval island between the overhead doors to display a couple of my pumps and a light pole that I built. The lights are connected to the timer that operates the soffit lighting on the building. I restored the pumps to the brand of gas I pumped at the station I worked at when I was 16.

You said "no concrete". Are you wanting to use it to display your pumps inside or outside?

Inside and movable. Was hoping someone made a nice fiberglass replica. Wonder if there is any interest in having it produced.

If you have gas pumps like the ones Kabinenroller posted, I don't think fiberglass will hold them up unless they're gutted. I have one similar, and they are HEAVY! You could get some 1/2" steel sheet cut to the shape you want, select the wheels you want, and then weld a band around the edge tall enough to hide the wheels and barely clear the floor. Paint it to your liking and slap your pumps on it!

Post #3 has your answer but it is expensive. Nice website too. Go to Accessories, two models, moveable, no concrete.
