When I decided to use milk crates in my pond someone
suggested that I cut the sides so that the fish could swim
in and out of the crates. I sanded the edges smooth and
then put the pots on top. Some of the pots were very heavy
and the milk crates were not as strong and the sides
buckled. Just a warning.


I placed my milk crates on top of two cinder blocks, that were spaced about
8" apart. So it makes a little tunnel under the milk crate. The koi seem to
enjoy swimming through the tunnel, and have made it part of their work-out
loop.
