Product Information
Full details
The Stubbs Tyre Bowl is designed for equestrian use, offering a durable and stable feeding or watering solution that is difficult to tip or move. Its key benefit lies in its stability, achieved by dropping it into an old tyre, making it ideal for paddocks and busy stables. A caveat is that the tyre is not supplied with the bowl. This robust 18-litre capacity bowl is practical for both indoor and outdoor environments, particularly in areas where feed or water containers are prone to being kicked around.

Troubleshooting
Bowl seems unstable on its own.
Ensure the bowl is placed inside a tyre as intended. The tyre provides the primary stability mechanism.
Bowl is difficult to clean.
Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak briefly with warm water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Animal is still managing to tip the bowl.
Verify that the tyre used is a standard 14-inch size and that the bowl is seated correctly within it. Ensure the ground where the tyre is placed is reasonably level.
Bowl has a persistent odor.
Clean thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. Leaving the bowl to air dry in sunlight can also help dissipate odors. Ensure all feed residue is removed.
