I have done it both ways

I prefer just to set them right out of the box first year and then paint or speed dip them at the end of the season to keep the rust down. I set them up like this with a cable loop anchor.

You are going to love them, they are some real coon catching machines!

Hey Parker - 1" pvc does not fit my dp's. Maybe it was 3/4" or a 1/2 maybe? smile
