Ballast Ideas for my new Ballast Box

[mkoreen]

Well everyone, It worked great! Concrete, steel, about 600#.... The deere logo and such came out AWESOME. Thanks to the vibrator Hardly any air pockets. Now I need some paint and to let it cure for a few days. I did put stainless eyes in the block if I need to lift it somewheres. I used 2" steel pipe all the way thru & welded a 4x4 steel plate to bottom & Drilled weep holes. Everything inside is welded to the rebar to keep it in place.

Just need to practice painting the "deer" for my rear!

Oh, BTW, Cost me about $30 for concrete, and $5.99 for the sign on Ebay!

Here is a link to my variation on a theme.
The pipes are heavy ABS. I keep caps on them when not in use, however there are drain holes drilled at the bottom.
Note that the outer two pipes are canted back a bit. This is really nice for holding landscaping tools.
They are 4" pipe which is a good diameter to also be used to store chain.

I have been using this box for a couple years and love it. Not sure I would do anything different.
