For my 10# propane tank (and I'm sure it'd accomodate a 20# easily), I've got a pair of stainless tubes bent into L shapes, with some plates welded to them on the upright sections, holding them parallel and a few inches apart. There are pegs sticking out of the bottom sections that catch/hold the ring at the bottom of the tank so that it doesn't slide off. The plates clamp to one of the stanchions attached to the railing, and there's a hook-shaped piece of sheet metal with a machine screw in it that a nut gets tightened on, in order to pull the ring/handles at the top of the propane tank towards the uppermost of the 2 welded-on plates.
I don't have a working camera right now, or I'd take pictures for you. If I get a break in the next few days, I may try and either make you a drawing, or identify the manufacturer.. Cheers, Kris P.S. Just took a peek out at it, and there's a third plate holding the bottom sections together too.
