This one gets late afternoon shade from one cedar tree and a couple of small willows and very late shade from trees behind the dam. My nephew and some buddies were given a small deck and they attached it too 55 gallon plastic barrels with rope and the weighted it down with roping and weights. I went out and cut those and drove in some 1" pipe and put several of those half round 2.5" brackets for each pipe to ride up and down. It's been on the pond about 10 years now....floating up and down with the water. I have a couple of benches on it and about 10-12 solar lights. I have great crappie habitat around it...it's my go to when I get the jon boat out.
