    Default coffee can concrete condo pictures... Wanted


    I'm looking for some pictures of coffee can concrete condo like Cane Pole made but used a concrete block in place of the plastic coffee can filled with concrete. Has anyone seen a condo like that?

    Default can structure

    I made this last spring and show it for the cross pieces. The material is the same as the moss back fish rack and works great. I took some of the short pieces and put them in 3lb coffee cans and spread the tops of them out as far as I could. Threw in the big tree and several of these cans around it, and 1 bucket with oak branches nearby. Holds fish but I planted it too deep and need to add more shallower to help it some.

    I have been making some very similar to this but using wood strips. I was also planning some like these you have here.

    It's 2"X2" recycled plastic angle. I got it off some produce pallets as corners to keep them together. Same stuff as the high priced stuff.

    Skeet, how did you cut the angles for the 2x2 angle? Nice job on those.

    Router' The layout takes longer than the cutting. I cut a 3" piece of the material and mark it on what I have layed out and then check that they will fit. Make the cuts, drill the concrete end so it has a bite, then set in concrete. Takes a little practice but it aint rocket science and the fish don't care.

    Adding denser natural cover shallower up from them may significantly increase their effectiveness...TOGETHER the 2 types are like MAGIC...
