Tuff Stuff oval tank 30gal

Details

Not every watering point justifies a hundred-gallon trough. A single horse in a paddock, a few weaned calves, a temporary set-up out on grass. In those places a big tank just means water standing long enough to go green before anything drinks it. This one holds 114 L (30 gallons), which is enough to matter and small enough to turn over. Outside measurements are roughly 89 cm long by 64 cm wide by 30 cm deep (35 by 25 by 12 inches). The manufacturer notes those figures are approximate and can vary by an inch or so, which is worth knowing before you build a frame or cut an opening for it. The oval shape gives more drinking edge than a round tank of the same volume. Poly is the right material out here for one reason, and that reason is ice. Water freezes and expands, and a poly tank flexes with it where steel and concrete give up. It is also light enough at this size that one person can tip it out to clean it. Scrub it when the sides start to feel slick, and set it level on something firm. A tank sitting on soft ground gets emptied by the first animal that leans on the rim.
