    Default Need some idee's.


    The spools that our hydraulic hose come on for our shop are heavy plastic and I have saved up quite a few of them. Looking for ideas on placement of these. I have considered putting them out one at a time, replicating a stump. I've thought about stacking them and making some sort of pyramid type structure and I've thought about putting them on a pvc "trunk" weighted at the bottom to get them up off the bottom of a lake. The spools are around 18" wide and 22" tall. If you had these, how would you use them for fish structure?

    I would stick a pipe throught them to hold the stack together, weight the bottom and have a tall stump

    I would get some cheap 1 in PVC water pipe, cut about 2 and 1/2 feet. Take heat gun and flatten about a foot and slip it into slots on top. Drill hole in end inside slot and wire them all together. Then fill spool with concrete.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    Jack, you're talking about how I have the 3 stacked on top of each other, right?

    Charlie, I'm not comprehending what you're talking about.

    Save me sum! Going to fill the center with concrete after I have drilled holes and put some 1 1/2” -2” pipe that I have in them about 4-6’ long. then cut a flat place on each end of the spool so that it will set flat on the bottom and let the pipes stick up!

    Yes, talking about adding limbs. Looking at the picture of spool it appears there are several slots around outside edge. You can take thin wall pvc pipe, heat with a heat gun and flatten it out. Slide the flattened length through that slot. Attach all those tips together under the edge where they can’t come out. Then with reel filled with concrete sink it. Then you have a stump with sever limbs sticking out. You could let them go straight up or heat and bend over to form a shaded area.

    Add PVC pipe to them . Fasten the spools on top of a concrete block .
