Taking Up the Slack?

[LaqueRatt]

Thanks for all the helpful comments and ideas. I know the simplest thing would be to throw a garbage can in it, but the only one I got handy is my test "barrel." It's not going to be very handy under the cover. I like that frame with the, what is that 1 1/2" PVC? I may try something like that in the spring. Right now all seems good though except for that pocket that is collecting water. Sun is shining and above freezing so going to take a stab at this today. I know my shiny new cover is going to not look so great come spring, but I really don't care. I'd hate to rip it though.
