PVC shelf

[gizmo]

hi we got some shelfs for the plants to stand on but the shelfs float we dont want to put a brick on the shelf so i was woundering if possible to use bag with stones in it to weight the shelf down but unsure what stones to use as we will be having gold fish at some point thanks for the advice

Do they have hollow legs? fill the legs with sand or pea gravel and seal the end.

hi thanks for your reply we have taken advice but the shelf still floats , unsure what to do i have tried sand , gravel ,

Would the weight of the plants hold it in place?

If that shelf is hollow, you may want to consider drilling a couple of holes so water can get inside it. That along with filling legs should solve the problem

If the shelf has areas under that can hold air drill some holes in it as well as the legs fulled with sand and holes in them as well.
Eliminate any area that can trap air.

Great minds! I was just going to type drill some holes when I read your responses.............
