Cedar stake buckets
This is my first attempt at stake buckets, and would like your opinion on these.
I have enough material to make several, but started out easy, with only 2. The wood is cedar, and the length on the longer pieces is around 6 feet, with a width of around 6 inches.
Do you guys think the stakes are too big/long ? Should I rip em in half lengthwise ?
I was able to get about 50 pounds of crete in each bucket. Should I supplement each with a sandbag ?

Thanks for your replies.

They look good to me. Can't imagine you would need any additional weight.

using the rebar to help stabilize them should work well...

Let us know what you catch off of them.

If you have the time I would rip them in half length wise. That would give you more planks per bucket. Just my personal preference, nothing wrong with what you have done.

The stakes work great . I try to use about 2'' x 2 '' stakes in buckets but have used as big as 2 ''x 4 '' when driving them in bottom . Bigger/heavier wood should last longer

Everytime we try something that long in a bucket they want to float.
