Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Property Projects & Construction Swim platform anchoring

I read somewhere that leaving a board in the center so it can be unscrewed like a hatch allows you to attach it from the center of the float to your anchors. That keeps the lines in the center of the float (providing you don't use too much excess line) and there is less chance of the grandkids hitting the line. It also makes it much easier to untie the float and bring it ashore for the winter without having to swim under the thing.
