Sounds like an interesting project and something I've thought about doing so I'll be watching your progress!

You guys are giving me some interesting ideas. Filling the entrance pipe with cement might take some doing, although I suppose if I use a funnel and a fairly liquefied cement mix, I'd be able to fill the pipe. Problem then would be enough airflow to allow the cement to harden. Still, the weight would be there to help hold down the front end.
I'm also thinking about sinking rebar hooks into the ground, over the base pipes, using cement around the rebar, as well, to add weight and hold the rebar down, more effectively. I may use rebar in the shape of "∩".
Lots of things to consider. My corner fittings won't be here for another week, so I've got time. Keep the ideas coming. Thanks!
