Looking to see whats out there or if people have any info on some concrete water troughs!

Looking to replace all our old metal water troughs in 2 of our sheds that sit on metal stands, they get moved around alot depending how we set the sheds up etc, but we are looking to see if there is any concrete troughs that come built higher up on a stand that can easily be moved via pallet forks ???
Had enough of the metal frames getting totally filled in with the muck as it gets higher and water soaking it through making it stinks

Can't you shutter a base for a metal trough to fit into.

Fordenconcreteproducts.co.uk smaller troughs up to 70 gallon come with trough support stands. they have an ingress that the trough sits in. You can see them in the picture next to the lid.

And there prices are superb.... you can buy that 70 gallon off their yard complete with ball valve and float for £130.00 + vat!! Ive seen others selling 100 gallon for over £300! Forden's 150 gallon is only £240!
