Thanks for your help. How far apart are your floor joist?
I am still trying to figure out how my joist will all come together and be attached to my pipe. My pond filled in a weekend while I was out of town so I was unable to do the set in concrete thing. I now have 3" sch 40 galvanized pipe 10' long with 3" augers attached. I have four installed with five remaining. It is truly a family affair to screw a 10' pipe into clay standing in 4' of water

Thanks
Kevin
