When I built mine using barrels it worked out pretty well and is now 5 yrs old. I have had to replace 3 or 4 barrels in this time frame due to rust. For me I just float it to the bank and use the front end loader on my tractor to pick it up enough to slip a barrel out and replace it. So, I would suggest u set it up to be able to replace a barrel or three over time or spend that extra money on floats that do not rust and do something else to the corners. I did not use corner braces and have had no problem so far with the corners. Knock on wood!

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
