Yes, the trough is designed for versatile use and can be used to hold either animal feed or water.
The trough features integral moulded hooks and stay pins that allow it to be hooked over fences, gates, or rails. Ensure the mounting structure is stable.

While manufactured for outdoor use, the colorfastness can depend on prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. It is designed to be durable in various environmental conditions.

No, the trough comes fully assembled and ready for mounting.
Ensure the mounting surface (fence, rail) is rigid and level. Check that the integral hooks and stay pins are fully engaged and secure. Verify the trough is not overloaded or unbalanced.
Use warm water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For dried-on feed or algae, soak the affected area with warm water for a short period before cleaning. Ensure all cleaning agents are rinsed away thoroughly.
The hook-over design is intended for standard fence rails or bars. Ensure the rail thickness is within the compatible range for the hooks. This trough is best suited for rails up to approximately 5cm in diameter/thickness.
Setup:
To set up the trough, identify a suitable fence, gate, or rail that can support its weight when full. Utilize the integral moulded hooks and stay pins to securely attach the trough. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy and level to prevent any shifting or instability. The 122cm length requires a corresponding clear span on the mounting structure.
Compatibility:
This trough is designed for use with various livestock, including horses, cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep. It is compatible with standard fencing, railings, and gates found on farms, stables, and smallholdings. The hook-over design accommodates rails or bars within a certain thickness range (typically up to 5cm).
Care:
Clean the trough regularly to maintain hygiene. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to wipe down the interior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could scratch the plastic. For stubborn residue, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the trough is completely dry before refilling, especially when used for feed.
