My structure is gone.

[KCBH]

I put out,off my dock, 4 five gallon buckets with tree branches and now only one is left. It's a private lake so no one is moving them, so do you one of them little beavers/muskrats have attacked them?

I ran my graph all around where I put them and only one is left. They were huge so they are pretty easy to find.

I am thinking they chewed the branches off and built them a new game room or a nice deck.

I am bumming out over here ...

That stinks. Beavers are irritating.

next time you might try pvc instead of wood, never heard of
beavers or muskrats eating pvc. hindsight hits again

i did that with dry christmas trees 4 of them they drifted to deeper water the dry wood made them sortof bouyent so they drift till the wood soaked up the water no longer bouyent

Did you have a heavy rain? Faster water from a heavy rain will rearrange natural as well as manmade structure. Beavers only chew green wood since they live off the living bark. - Roberta

Well the wood was green when I put it in the water. The branchs still had leaves. I looked all around with my graph and didn't find them.

I will look again this weekend and get back to ya.

Friend of mine that live on a lake had an old truck near his dock. One day he could not find it. Reckon someone stoled it and it is still gone. He does not want to talk about how it got in the lake :D lol

Shoot, some old fisherman is driving around looking at stucture under there ribit. He must have left the keys in it. We have to deal with currents a lot on our structure so we drill through the main log and use cable if we can. We also bolt trees to wood pallets 4 to a corner and one in the middle. put a cement 5 gallon bucket on there and cable it and it stays there for a long time.
