For anyone needing to test their new ballast in the driveway, here is what my fake-a-lake looks like. Works pretty good. Don't completely fill the bags as the trailer may not be rated for the extra weight. Cam.

Neat idea! I'm stuck with all the rain, was actually thinking of something like that.

Here is my problem though:

With my setup

You might be able to do a smaller version of mine over each inlet, one at a time. I also debated threading the inside slightly, enough to allow a pipe fitting to thread in, then with a hose over the pipe fitting into a constantly filled bucket or garden hose. Mine is like something bugs bunny would shoot with a bow. Cam.
