So I need to source 5 plastic containers of this dimension, weight them slightly (with concrete?) and then cut in the wiring holes at the back. Something like this bucket would be perfect. I can cut it to height preference and spray it cream to match the inflatable fabric.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjP1B1meuuc3tdF0Tw2H0uSZE3rdUavmNft0o7KPYlaFiMzUumYWekwcqmCB9gWr3TYSvAfMXjmuZTXf_WXJ8UMWNf3EGKTw8Pm4g095vsD2vfmKHa4b-RvDti3wV9SX-OISBsTr_yC1WXQEAYoKtFZ6hcB2_STUEFJRGhoW2J-bzSJZMXT1SkCf7gYvRoh\"><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjP1B1meuuc3tdF0Tw2H0uSZE3rdUavmNft0o7KPYlaFiMzUumYWekwcqmCB9gWr3TYSvAfMXjmuZTXf_WXJ8UMWNf3EGKTw8Pm4g095vsD2vfmKHa4b-RvDti3wV9SX-OISBsTr_yC1WXQEAYoKtFZ6hcB2_STUEFJRGhoW2J-bzSJZMXT1SkCf7gYvRoh\" width=\"400\"><br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjWg2tCk1MRDVdCpyCYU28Eu7PPtgX8OffephyMw9CKMeIF1zP8qOOsYAFNeMulQIkl1TrApyM-p0hj62yjuCv7Hah5NuB_3pNoaI512rszEvjS0Zx6kY6sUylBhbLHyw4JMKBXSPtOvOGsw35Oo_jYAq3WYNoaMPaPQ7fUSQ7vFzxGyOtEgvia6QiBkQV9\"><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEjWg2tCk1MRDVdCpyCYU28Eu7PPtgX8OffephyMw9CKMeIF1zP8qOOsYAFNeMulQIkl1TrApyM-p0hj62yjuCv7Hah5NuB_3pNoaI512rszEvjS0Zx6kY6sUylBhbLHyw4JMKBXSPtOvOGsw35Oo_jYAq3WYNoaMPaPQ7fUSQ7vFzxGyOtEgvia6QiBkQV9\" width=\"400\"><br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ve not yet figured out how to attach the fabric inflatables to their anchor, but my instinct is that extremely strong adhesive velcro is a good shout.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>One thing occurs, a bucket is basically a drum, and this anchor choice could potentially amplify the sound of the inflatables fans.
