    Seventeen-gauge chain is lightweight, but durable.
  1. Hook one end link of the chain to the carabiner.

  2. Hook the carabiner through the hole in the rudder of the decoy. The chain should hang down from the carabiner.

  3. The carabiners make installation simple.
  4. Hook a second carabiner to the opposite end link of the dangling chain.

  5. Hold the carabiner and wrap it and the chain down around the irrigation pipe and back up to itself.

  6. Hook the carabiner back to one of the links in the chain so that the decoy can float buoyantly on the surface of the pond.

Tips

Adjust the chain depending on the level of the pond.

Warnings

You may have to get wet to accomplish this task. Wear a personal floatation device to avoid drowning.
