Hi folks -

I built two of these cribs and had hoped to place in position while my pond was still covered with ice, but never got the chance. The cribs are on my flatbed trailer and I’m trying to figure out how to get them into the water. I angle cut the bottom skids and was thinking of dropping at pond’s edge and onto a piece of plywood so they’d slide easily. I’d loop a long rope from the opposite side of the pond and quickly pull out.

Any other thoughts? These things weight over 350 pounds, so they’re not easy to handle.

Thanks in advance.
