you can see the taught wire cable going in the left side through the white pvc sleeve cut flush to the pumpkin and out the other side. this support stops kids from tipping towards the street and possibly crushing another kid in the worst case scenario. the rest of the same cable was used to tie the corn bundles in place. when done carving, the red lifting tarp was draped over the hole and then we put the top bail on and secured it with rebar from behind. very easy system if you want to stand them up for carving like this. for a pointy blossom with a nose, bails of hay on the lower sides helps stabilize it better while carving. if no trees or poles to tie rope through to, take 4' or 5' pieces of rebar and stick them through the sides walls from the top all the way into the ground on both sides. the right pieces of rebar and the bar is hammered flush to the top of the pumpkin and secured into the ground and you do not even see them.
