Hardest part was figuring out how to get something 28' tall and top heavy to stand up.Lucky my neighbor had the mini excavator on stand by. How tall are you getting? We didn't need to go 28' but I figured it would add some character to the pond. Attached Images

I also got the "tilt up" mounts for the legs so hoping that makes standing it up and maintenance a little easier. Will find out soon enough I guess Keep This Forum Viable, Read Pond Boss Magazine - America's Journal of Pond Management
