I got this idea from a prev. post. It had a picture but didn't describe how he built it. The black pipe is 3/4 water line-100ft. at $20 bucks from Lowes. PVC is 2 inch. I tried to get a tight fit where the black pipe went through the PVC, but that was time consuming. So I bored the holes larger with a variable bit, slid the black pipe through and secured with some old galvinized deck screws I had. The PVC "branches" are 36 inch long, and the black water line is 40 inches. I ran threaded rod through the anchor bucket, and through a pc. of PVC with a coupling, filled with 1 1/2 bags of quikcrete. Let set up. The rods stick below the bucket 12 inches to stick in the pond bottom clay. The last picture is what tools I used. I have another place I want to add one that is 5 ft. deep and rocky that I will run the threaded rod through the bottom of the bucket horizontally in an X so it doesn't tip when on the bottom since theres no clay that the rods can stick in. This took about an hour, to figure out, and build. I used a couple trailer wheels to hold it in place while constructing it.
