Chad here is what I did and it worked great so far now going on 5 years.

I put one of those wire baskets under the computer side plate zip tied it all together and so far so good. You can see I am not that far off the ground but my pond is only 10 feet deep to. Like Bill said you could go up a foot or so and it wouldn't be a problem in your case.




The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
