Replying to Building pvc pipe thing

i posted in SG but people told me to post in here so yeah


im getting this 8 inch pvc pipe for my backyard and i was wondering if i should just plop it down and put snow beside it so it doesn't roll and use that or if i should cut it in half and then put wood under it?? also cutting it and putting wood under it wouldn't be a problem cause my friend is a carpenter and has a ton of machines and stuff.

so should i just put it there or cut it in half?

whats easier to learn on? will it matter that its cut?
thanks NS.
