I'm looking for some pictures of coffee can concrete condo like Cane Pole made but used a concrete block in place of the plastic coffee can filled with concrete. Has anyone seen a condo like that?

Is this what your looking for, I put these out last month.

I made this last spring and show it for the cross pieces. The material is the same as the moss back fish rack and works great. I took some of the short pieces and put them in 3lb coffee cans and spread the tops of them out as far as I could. Threw in the big tree and several of these cans around it, and 1 bucket with oak branches nearby. Holds fish but I planted it too deep and need to add more shallower to help it some.
I have been making some very similar to this but using wood strips. I was also planning some like these you have here.Quote:

Skeet, how did you cut the angles for the 2x2 angle? Nice job on those.
Router' The layout takes longer than the cutting. I cut a 3" piece of the material and mark it on what I have layed out and then check that they will fit. Make the cuts, drill the concrete end so it has a bite, then set in concrete. Takes a little practice but it aint rocket science and the fish don't care.
Thanks. I bet they hold fish and would last forever.
Adding denser natural cover shallower up from them may significantly increase their effectiveness...TOGETHER the 2 types are like MAGIC...
Attachment 146075Attachment 146076Attachment 146077Here are a couple i made this week. Pan on making about 12 with the coffee can and sticks.
I have been making these for years, but I also use Folgers cans. If I use the foglers can, I run a couple of pieces of PVC thru the bottom to make a base so it stays upright. These are landscaping pots with pallet slats and concrete.
