Do you buy the ends?

 

[dodger]

Nope the ends are stock board,will put an alloy box frame underneath to keep them firm and rigid!!

Need a few more troughs and wandered how good cutting twin wall in half would be certainly work out cheaper. How did you get on with these and what size pipe did you use?
Anybody else done the same?

eventually they go brittle and snap
down to last one now and won`t bother making anymore

i'm looking at sinking some 300mm ones into concrete for pig feeding troughs, what's the tidiest way to cut them?

I wouldn't use twin wall for that, as the meal goes into the voids in the wall and rots, and you'll have no way of cleaning it, with a portable trough at least you can tip them upside down to clean it out.

was looking to make sure the edge gets covered with concrete so pigs can't lever it away anyway

Once saw some that someone had made from plastic gas pipe it's an inch or more think so proper rigid and strong and to raise them off floor and keep them square had just bolted a 2ft long piece of the same half pipe to the bottom.
