In reply to Marilyn. Marilyn, I used a 3/4 inch copper pipe, but do measure the holes you're filling to make sure. I've also found that rebar rods are VERY sturdy to hold bowling balls at whatever height you like.

You state to use pennies before 1982 and pipe. Do you mean a piece of copper pipe and if so what size. I have several bird baths in my yard so I can constantly cleaning them. Any tricks would be helpful. I put colored stones in my birdbaths. I have some of the blue glass, good idea

My suggestion is to NOT use bleach. Use a stiff brush instead and scrub, scrub, scrub. If you happen to have your power washer out, use that. It cleans it better than anything.

thanks! but i’m confused…the caption beneath the photo says to add 1/4 cup bleach. but in the paragraph and explanation, it references “diluted bleach.” so, do i pour straight bleach? or do i dilute it? and if diluted, what’s the ratio? thanks!!!!

My birds, especially the robins, would be very upset with all those insulators in the middle of their bathing area.

Rinse the basin onto adjoining cement bench or statues and continue the work ?
