The pvc tree hasn't attracted any fish but it got the attention of a curious little Bulldog. He was looking for a tool to swipe and run off with so the chase could begin

The next installment. PVC pipe for under some docks. Hopefully they will last a long time. PVC came from the scrap pile. Today's prices are ridiculous for pipe. A 10 foot stick of half white pvc is $6. At those prices a man would have to take out a home loan on some crappie condos. The block on the end will get a pvc pipe tree kind of like the ones made on the 4x4's earlier in the post. Tuesday will bring warmer weather suitable for pouring concrete. The first 2 came out of the rubber pans just fine. I do believe the concrete froze so it may be a little crumbly

If your lake gets drawn down for winter it is good practice to sort of "dig in" the concrete buckets and cinder blocks. It helps keep them upright.
Even a float in the top won't lift a fallen over bucket back up if it gets knocked over by waves or current. If you aren't interested in re-using the bucket or tub you can add rebar "legs" to widen the base to help prevent tip over.

Good advice. These should be deep enough not to be exposed at draw down levels. The rubber tub I am using for a mold is wider than a 5 gallon bucket by a good bit. The PVC tree will right itself from leaning on the bottom limbs. Definitely

Well done with the rebar, with the 2 ajoining repair ends bent downwards have pinned cement buckets with hardwoods and/ or pvc in them onto fairly steep breaks/ drop offs several years ago at C J Brown.
