Nice!!
I really like the idea how you stacked the pallets. What did you use for a center post?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

That looks really cool, and I love your stacked pallets. I wonder how long pallets last underwater.
How big is the lake?

Deadwood - Dont know how long they will last - but i put the top of the pipes flush with the water line so i can see them. If they rot out in my time i can always add more pallets or turn them into some type of pvc trees. The pond is 7 acres.

Holy cow, that is one huge hole! I thought my pond cost a lot... I cannot imagine. Congrats and it looks incredible!

How high above the water level will those PVC pipes be? You might able to mount some automated fish feeders on one.

I have oak pallets that have help up for over 10 years. Keep them under water and they last a lot longer. If exposed to air they don't last as long.
Nice looking structure.

I sunk some oak pallets about five feet in one of my coves about 10 years ago. I am doing a winter drawdown and they are now out of water and look like they are holding up very well.
