It is on the "todo" list. My wife is the camera carrier so I need to steal it.
My wife wanted to know how you keep the chains from slipping on the top? I told her you could tack them in place but I figured I would ask.
I just need to take more pics! But what I did was drill holes around my bike rim and wrap my metal using bolt loops. The outside is where my nut is (Half is visible where the red arrow points) the inside has a loop. So I took "s hooks" and squeezed them shut on the loop.
Yellow shows the loops.
Not only does it keep the metal around the bike, it also holds the chains. As for my interior chains the simply lay on the crosses of the spokes. They stay in place because the spokes cross at the perfect spot.
I hope this helps! This pic shows my basket after the first day of work. It looks way different now. Even has "hole 19" on the side.

I just meant sliding on the spokes, not keeping them on the rim...sorry wasnt too clear. I suppose they wont move because I noticed the DISCatchers at Lenora have 24 chains and the last 6 are just on S-hooks and they dont slide either.
....and I just read your post more...jumped the gun...

This is the Iron Maiden - possibly one of the original baskets from the first permanent pole hole course in the world. It's still in the ground (photo taken 5/10/2009) but there's no hole that plays to it.

I saw this in another forum. This is about as cheap as it gets:
Looks like an artifical redneck Christmas tree.
I'm sure they got the dimensions right on it...

honestly 50' should be more then enough for a double ring of chains...I went to menards (dunno if you have them where you live) and got 50ft of chain I think it was for 29.99 cheapest place that had it! anyways here is mine!!
dang...not bad, i feel i should prolly just go buy one, not that mechanically talented lol....my wife is allready gonna bitch about how ugly a basket in the yard is, at least a brand new one will be all shiny and new looking

Where is this basket located? I have played Oak Grove dozens of times and never seen it.

Drive off the #10 tee and as you walk down the fairway, look over to your left. It's behind the bushes, between the #10 and #16 fairways.

This is my homemade basket made for PVC. Works good sometime doesn't catch all the discs that would go in on a metal basket but it works for the yard!

No homemade basket thread would be complete without the award winning Blang tire basket.

I haven't seen this video on here (that I can remember) so I thought I would post it for anyone interested in building their own basket...
