Pad for dob

David ,
We have a dob "pad", absolutely functional and minimal.


It is about a third of an old 44 gallon drum (one end). With end cut out and the rim retained.
A circular trench, say four inches deep, to receive the cut end. Place the drum and level it, then
pack the trench
fill the drum with rocks to an inch below the top of the rim


pre-mix cement to make a nice surface at the rim level


A perfect base for Sky watcher dobs. No observable movement in a couple of years.
