    That looks really good. What are the dimensions of that one? How long is the 6" piece?

    What material is that made out of and lastly, did you sand it?

    Default Pipe

    The 6" pipe is 8 feet long as are the 2" pipe limbs. I did not sand these because this is used pipe from a sod farm gone out of business and is really scratched up and covered in dirt.

    Looks great, but the water needs to be a bit deeper!

    Default If

    If it kept raining I was concerned the water was going to get deep enough right where they sat.

    Default Sliding

    Roadrunner, keeping the pipes from sliding through the holes was an issue I had to figure out. The 2.25 hole saw makes a hole just big enough to slide 2 inch (inside diameter) pipe through but they still wanted to slip a little. First I simply ran a galvanized deck screw through each 2 inch limb to stop it from sliding.
    Then quite by accident I stepped on a piece of the 2" poly pipe and noticed it was crush with a bit of weight. So on all the rest of them I just mashed the center of each 2" pipe so it was disfigured enough to get really tight going through the 2.25 inch hole.
    That make sense?
