Lifting Chain Length

[JB4310]

Was there a reason besides the weight difference that you went from stones to concrete in your ballast box? What was the weight difference between the two? With the stones did the pipes shift around any? What type of concrete did you use?

Sorry for all the questions. Yours really does look nice.

Definitely heavier with the concrete, I delayed doing it for a couple of years cause I was worried maybe I would want the flexibility to adjust weight, but really all I needed was more weight so I have no regrets.

The pipes moved maybe just a little when set in the loose stone, not really an issue though. I used regular 80 lb bagged concrete, I think 6 bags, but don't quote me on that.
