I never got in on this but yeah...
Exactly because it raises the water up and into the pond. Hence it's called a "riser"...

Up here a riser is the pipe sticks ground and shoots water out. AKA a well head.

Orrrr Raises the lower end of the pipe thus "riser"

No, but "weir" was one of my early searches. I think I've heard them called that too.
"Flashboard Riser" got the best search results. I think a lot of hunters see them and don't necessarily know what they are called. That's how all the misnomers get started.

Here is a good PDF link of the different types.
LINK - Old DU article.
I will probably try to make my own.

Yep, I have a barrel and other material to make the full round riser. I just need to buy a 12" diameter pipe.
Anyone got any tips to connect the PVC pipe to a PVC barrel for a decently watertight connection?
I was thinking of using bondo.

What we have is the permanent pipe is belled at the top. Then use a rubber gasket(kind of wedged edge). Place on top piece to account for whatever height you'll need. Place top piece in bottom and tap it tight
Looking at DU's picture, the pipe connected to the elbow would be at the ground surface. The pipe you place into that pipe ("riser") is what controls depth

I'd rather use bondo.

Get a PVC one like jimbeam is talking about. Soileau Industries in Ville Platte would be a good source. Another is Plastics Inc. in Rayne and Welsh Equip in Welsh too.

Soileau Industries in Ville Platte. The make/sell PVC pipe and the riser/structure you are looking for.

Were draining 4 acres that gets a steady 5gal/sec flow and the 12 inch pipe we tried first was a joke, we went to 24 and are much happier.
Posted on 1/20/15 at 4:31 pm to Itismemc
What kind of setup?
Posted on 1/20/15 at 9:32 pm to Clyde Tipton
