Thread: Building some PVC structure and need advice.

Might want to secure the smaller PVC in an upward direction to help make them more snag resistant and remember the DENSER they are the better !

I'm gonna tell you the same thing as others...Do not take this as anything other than being constructive and trying to help you out!

The more black tubing you add the better....you have to look at PVC the same as if you were adding trees or limbs, it has to be dense...if you have big open areas, it cut's down the covers ability to hold Crappie.
There's another thread going on now, where we are talking about this...
If you look at what you have built, it is a very good start, but besides the main "Trunk", where will the Crappie hide?
That's what you have to think about...you have to either build them STUMPS or TREES to be really effective....adding dense PVC to the brush you have added will be great!

I have been reading the other thread and now I do plan on adding more limbs to my stump. I wish I would have read before I poured the concrete and added smalled pieces of PVC in the bucket around my stump. I guess you live and learn.

I have gotten some great ideas from this site!!

Don't know but using wood we try to put nothing closer than 8'' min spacing to allow fish inside

Great idea

am trying a few very similar to these. I drilled hole so the smaller pvc is snug, but it still can rotate. I tried pvc cement on a couple and is not as strong as I would like. is there a better way to secure these?

Use stainless steel screws, 1" should be fine, 1 per limb.
