Default How to keep it up

Yeah I know... So when you drop of a structure in about 10foot how do you keep it upright to the bottom? Or do you just drop them off and let it be?

I think they have a pill for that . I can see why no one has responded to this thread.
If you read some of Darryl Morris threads he explains how it works. He is one of the Guru's at putting sets out. If it is weighted at the bottom with concrete chances are it will just float down like a parachute till it hits bottom.

CX.

Ditto....just get plenty of weight and you can throw them in upside down and they will still flip over and fall like a parachute.

one other thing I do is put a pad eye in the concrete large enough to slide a rope thru. U need twice as much rope as the water you are putting it in. (10ft of water, rope needs to be 25 ft or so.)

Slip the rop thru the pad eye and grab both ends. This allows you to let it straight down without it drifting before it hits bottom and then you can lift it and let it fall a (a couple inches each time) and sort of tamp it into the bottom making it "settle" nicely. Then, let go of one of the ends and pull your rope back up. Works good.

You can also insert two pieces of pvc in the bottom of your bucket or pale horizonally to create an "X" which will help to keep it upright.

The eye bolt is a great idea, I will try that with the next one I make and drop
