Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Tires for stucture: your vote?

I am using tires for structure and don't feel there are any ill effects. They will last for a very, very long time and should not release any harmful chemicals... certainly not in any quantities if they are good clean tires. Try to make sure the tires are clear of oil, tire patch goo or other obvious contaminants before putting them in the water. Tying them together in a means by which will keep them upright so they don't just become more 'debris' on the bottom is always a good idea. Unless you are using tractor tires which might make for good catfish spawning habitat if laid on their sides. If they float you can always drill a few holes in them to release air. Or weigh down the bottom half and use the air lift to hold them upright.
