Been brewing this idea up for a few months while i wait for the tractor to get running so i can start new pig grower pens.
A concrete feeding trough and water station with surrounding apron/standing area
The idea is to do away with both metal feeding troughs (that get destroyed or pushed onto electric fences) or feeding onto the ground where i will no doubt lose some.
In addition i can sink the water trough in the concrete by an inch or two to stop it being pushed around, and the pipework is surrounded by concrete upstands and probably covered with a metal/plywood plate.
The feeder is open ended to stop it filling with rain and make wash down easy
Standing area is drawn as 75mm thick, edges of trough 100mm thick, as are pipework upstands
Would appreciate any constructive criticism
