Habitat - Outdoor :: any idea for temporary basking dock?

Ponds and other outdoor enclosures.

that you can use at home?
because i need to get one cuz the one i had before when they were little isnt working (obviously).
the reason why i need it is cuz they need to bask, and i have a temporary housing for them. with no dock.

Maybe you could build a stand out of pvc pipes and joints, and rest a ceramic tile on top? I've seen something similar posted on here before. I think something like that would be fairly cheap.

Anything plastic or ceramic that hasn't been in contact with any chemicals, like one of those plastic crates with all the holes in it. Or any kind of small plastic basket, shelving unit, tub, etc. Just make sure there's holes in it so it will fill with water when you turn it upside down and weight it down with a rock or something.
