Thanks for all the ideas and replies. Sorry I took so long to respond; i have been very busy. I was able to some what decide on supports, especially since they were free. I was able to pick up some used telephone poles with a average of about 8 inch dia. & cementing them in about 2.5 to 3 ft. down. I spent this week trying to get them planted ( so to speak ) and w/ the help of my son and a friend of his, we got all but 2 in before having to go back to the paying job for a week or so. I have posted a few pics of our pond and begining project. Feel free to view and offer suggestions. I will try and post pics as the project progresses. Thanks.
