The uprights have a large wooden tree stake inside them, but the crossbar is self-supporting - it sags down a little but just adds to the effect. Your home improvement store also sells PVC "test plugs" that fit inside the end of the pipe in case you have an open end that shows, like the left side of the crossbar. Anything worth doing, is worth doing to the point of wretched excess. [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2008-06-03 21:06 ]
