The next time I complain about my boat rope/handle getting tangled I'll try to remember this...

It's certainly put those tangles into perspective!

On to the anchors - they need to be 1.5 x 1.5 and 1.2m deep I lined them up using the rope and stakes at my center points, then made sure they were square. Who'd have thought Trigonometry would be important in building a cable park!

I look forward to hearing your ideas! At the moment it will be pretty boring until I can get more hands on deck to build obstacles - a couple of kickers straight up but hopefully a pipe and some wallrides, A frames and anything else we can put together.

The area I've chosen used to be a Melaleuca swamp (we call them paperbark trees in Aus) It was cleared a decade before we bought the property. More on that in a second...

We're in the middle of a drought which has been good for me to resize the lake, but has made the clay ultra hard to dig in accurately. Dug out the anchors - took me a whole day. One end was the super hard clay and was fiddly to say the least. The other end was the reason I mentioned the paperbark swamp, because I wondered what happened to all the logs. Turns out that they were buried and anytime I managed to get a wall accurate I'd snag a log and bring half of the wall down Nothing extra concrete can't fix I guess.
The steel and rio is being bent as you read this and hopefully the anchors will be poured next week.
