Rickie I bought the pipe from a guy I know a couple years ago, thought I had plenty. Now I'm wishing I'd bought a bunch more.

Justin, will you set those up like they are laying or stand them up on the end? How do you go about sinking them if they are to stand up? I built some similar several years ago and put a block on one end and an empty milk jug on the other to try to get them to stand up. My attempt didn't work. I do know that plastic sure won't show up on old-school electronics.

1" or smaller pvc doesn't hardly show up on side or down scan. We sunk some last month with 1" pvc and you could barely make it out on downscan.

They lay down, if you were looking from the end this is how they would appear \|/. I'm using concrete test samples to sink them. I tried one built like a tree standing up with a bucket and concrete on bottom, it fell over as soon as it hit the bottom . Taking some more out tomorrow.

In the image below you can see the piece of pipe stuck in the end that is parallel to the ground, or it will be. When they go in the lake there is one on each end and they stick out about two feet on each side to help them stand up.

They look good. I thought from the top photos that there were a line of stakes on the bottom and I didn't understand why.

I used a piece of 6 inch schedule 40 for mine and drilled the holes in it so it had 4 sides of stakes sticking out from a center. I ran out of a source for the pipe that wasn't so expensive. I had to go back to buckets.

I don't put the bottom pieces or the concrete on them until right before they go in the lake. I have about $13 apiece in these and only have enough 2" pipe to build three or four more. Guess it'll be wood after the pipe is gone.
