My biggest piece of advise is with any type of structure location... Your pond will rarely and for a short amount of time be at FULL POOL. Be sure and compensate for that when placing your structure if you don't want everything sticking up above the surface. Also I tied duck decoys to every stack of tires and structure I put in my pond for easy location. When I fish near a duck it tells me if it is truly "holding" fish near that structure. Plus it has helped bring live ducks in to the area. Also ditto on drilling holes in the tires. You will need it!!
