Drill holes in the bottom side of the tire, or you have made a mosquito breeder.

probably drilled a hole down into the wood and screwed a big 6 inch bolt down through the rim and wood.

sorry I am thread jacking, but I am thinking about replacing the chains with bamboo for my school's disc golf course. It will be a bamboo tone pole that catches discs.

This is the best I have looking down into it. And this isn't actually the same basket. It's the first born of the twins.



To support the basket I had some old 55 gallon drums with lids lying around. I just took one of the bands that holds the lid on the drum and screwed it down onto the 2 x 6 tire supports. (The tire was sagging way too much when I just had it laying on top of the 2 x 6s.) I then just screwed the tire down onto the 2 x 6s.

Regarding holding the discs, I just ripped down a couple of pieces off of a treated 2 x 4 to about 1 x 2 and screwed them down on top of the 2 x 6 tire supports. These had to fit inside of the drum band. In this picture, the 2 x 6s are running left to right and the ripped pieces are running top to bottom.

I'll try to take some more pictures of the assembly soon and post them.

That could sound cool. Mine don't get the great chains banging off of the metal post sound anyway.

i like this... the idea of having homemade discatchers. I like the ones in this vid as well:
