You will not be disappointed. So many great things these habitat additions add to a pond. Post pics of what you come up with, how they look dry and after they've been sunk.

Sweet! That's the way I figure the fish see them.

Yes, let the cement dry, especially for the larger safehouse limbs. The larger limbs create a good amount of pressure on the cement when bent and tugged. It doesn't take the 28 days required for all cement to reach it's full strength but a little more time is best. Smaller strands in the cradle can be bent around sooner, being more flexible.
If you get to impatient, worst thing is having to start over and re-pour. We use a mixture of different quantities of different types of cement, we've found for best results.

Looks great!

Peepaw. I got an email wanting me to review the products I purchased. I tried but It asked for a code and would not let me. Thanks.

Figured out the problem. The review code is not compatible with my iPhone or iPad. I logged onto the old dinosaur and code was there.
