Thread: PVC Crappie Condo

I make my structure with electrical pvc. Cut about 18-20 inches off the end with the flare. I drill a hole in the straight end and put a nail thru it so it won't come out of the quick crete. Put about 10 per bucket. Also cut a pvc pipe into 12 inch sections for leg supports and insert in the bucket. Fill the bucket with quick crete and space and angle the ends around to get the effect you want. Fill the bucket with water and let the mix harden. With the remaining ends of pvc, cap them at one end and drill a hole about 16-18 inches from the cap and 4-5 inches from the other end. When you sink the condo this will allow water to fill the pvc with a air pocket at the top to help keep it upright. Assemble them at the lake. Takes about 3-5 minutes to assemble and sink.
