I have a 5 gallon bucket filled with cement, and a galvanized pipe
sticking straight up from the
center of it. At the top of the pipe is a 'v' shaped notch (to straddle
the tail tiedown loop) with a
hole drilled through it in order to insert a bolt, screw driver, or
whatever to hold it in place. This
will do a good job of holding the tail down to whatever angel you have
dictated by the length of the
pipe.
If you want it to be used at different angles, use a very short piece
of pipe and secure a piece of
chain onto the pipe. Then you can use variable links at the top of the
chain in order to lower the tail
to whatever height you want it to be.
Yes, it's a bit heavy to move around, but it's doable.
