staking down structure in current

I saw some guys talking about keeping structure still in rivers and areas with current.
Here is what we do.

Insert a piece of PVC pipe in the bucket of concrete with a hole at the bottom so the PVC acts as a collar running thru the center.

Insert 8-10 stalks of bushy bamboo tips or whatever you use into the concrete around the pvc pipe, let it dry

Take an 8 or 9' piece of bamboo stalk (stout) and drive it thru the collar at the time of sinking with stake driver.

I usually drive the stake 5' into the mud and let 3 or 4' stick up above the pvc collar.

These are in 15ft of water in the river, staked down. Works great.

Hope this helps someone.

Those look pretty darn good to me!!!!!

Very good idea on river placement! Wish i wlda thought of that sooner?

THAT is a NOVEL idea! Well done, sir ! `Fore long, they should be LOADED with slabs...
