fill that up with cement, leave a little room at the top, and it works like an ice cube tray.....all you have to do is bend it a little like youre popping ice cubes out of a plastic ice cube tray, and the cured concrete comes right out.....you can reuse the dish pan many many times

also, I have been researching pvc structures and guys are starting to build them just like yours except they are angling the "limbs" at angles upward.

Instead of drilling two holes opposite each other and sliding a piece through, drill one hole at a sharp angle down towards the base of the structure, insert pvc "limb" and secure

Here is my 4th grade drawing = )

Cool. I think I've seen something like that before. It was suggested to me to make even smaller branches on these since they're spaced out a bit much for the smaller fish varieties. May or may not give that a shot. Can't screw them up since you don't see them right? Have you seen a pond bush? Check this out from a post at Pond Boss...
