An adjustable water heater stand including three substantially identical support members each fabricated from sheet metal. The support members each include a central sheet section, an outer leg for supporting the stand and an inner end portion extending at a 60°angle from the sheet section. The support members are positioned with their inner end portions abutting the sheet section of an associated support member so that the sheet sections form an equilateral triangle. The triangle is contracted or expanded to adjust the stand to accomodate variously sized water heaters, and fasteners are used to secure the support members in the desired arrangement.
