Basketball Net base

I assembled one of those roll-away nets this weekend. When finished, I

*stupidly* filled the base with water instead of just buying a few sand bags and placing them on top. Now I'll have to remember to get the water out before the winter so that it doesn't freeze and crack the base.

Hey, I wonder if I can pour some auto anti-freeze into it? Do you see any problem with doing this?

Thanks, Harry

Turn it over and let the water drain out. That's what the neighborhood kids do to theirs.

Use RV antifreeze, as in the stuff you add to your water system to keep it from freezing in the winter, it's non-toxic.
