Be cautious about cutting them in half. The few that I have had used threaded rods to hold them together (side to side), if they (the rods) would have been cut in half they would have fallen apart without extra reinforcement.

Keep in mind how long they will last also. I have had one sitting outside for the last 7 years on dry gravel and it's about to fall apart with rot...not sure if it would be better submerged or not.


Fish on!,
