whatever you do, don't depend on a box made of 2 X 6's to hold in your
fill material. It won't.


I really hate to rain on the water hose level peoples parade, but there are
some factors that need to be addressed. I once took a 30' piece of plastic
hose to use as a level. I filled it full with no air whatsoever in it. I
held both ends next to each other
and was amazed to see the level was over an inch different. The problem was
the temperature of the water was changing as I was filling the clear hose. I
used a garden hose that was in the sun so the first water was warm followed
by cooler water. It is very important the water is the same temp throughout
the hose. This would even be something to be aware of if part of the hose
level was in the sun and part in the shade.
