Last night i finished a few artificial structures, taken from ideas i ripped from this forum....from old "scrap" I had around.
I used the top and bottom of an old deer feeder, waterline i've been dodging with my tractor for 4 years, old paint buckets (concrete inside), and old water hoses.

Cool. Similar to the ones I made. I stood mine up though and sunk it in concrete in a 5 gal bucket. One thing I did wrong was not put a couple of boards beneath the bucket to keep it upright. I know two of the four I put in have tipped over. I imagine they are still doing their job, but maybe not as well.
Just an FYI,

Strange how the simplest things to solve a problem, like screwing a couple of pieces of scrap wood to the bottom of a bucket to stabilize it, seems to go unthought of until it's too late (or at least not without some effort) to fix.

Looks good.

Nice work. Keep in mind that the ponds have a vertical dimension (bottom to top structure is important).
