I had a project to assist my daughter with and with the wind and rain the bucket of cement keeps falling over. Is there anything that can be used to hold it from tilting over? The weight of the object is to much and it just falls over to easily. Something that can clamp on the bucket to hold it down?

Find a flat level surface to set the bucket on.

Put bricks around it.
Or
Set it into a wooden frame made from scrap.
Or

Dig a small hole in the yard and put part of it in hole.

It’s on school property. I was hoping to put something on or in the bucket and drive other end in ground like a stake or something.

Cover it with netting and stake that to the ground.

Is it on a hill? I must be missing something.

That's what you get for not using a Yeti bucket...





Seriously, are we talking about a one gallon bucket, or a five gallon bucket?

How big is this bucket? You can re-fill the hole after.


Hell, get a 'wash tub'..fill it with some dirt....[see previous post]

Now I'm even more confused, if it's on school property why is it your problem? Why do you need a bucket of concrete to anchor down for something?

Take your bucket of concrete and anchor it in a bucket of concrete.
