Anybody think about portible bastball goals that use a tank for a weighted base? A good deal of the people I've seen buy them put concrete in them but they are designed to hold water and/or, up to 40 gallons.

Pros: They are descrete, provide one something to do with the kids, they are common, and you can move them around fairly easily.

Cons: They do not hold enough water for long term use, it can be hard to get the water out (two peices of hose and a bulb like what one finds on outboard boat motars and their feul tanks or a pump style purifier, can fix that), they can cost up to $500 dallors.

TR would having a waterbed heater underneath to keep the water from freezing over with temps getting low in Northern states be a bad idea and waste of electricity?
