Be aware that you could consider taking a 150 gallon Behlen's water tank (plastic...6 feet long by 2 feet high by 2 feet wide) and installing the tank in that. I think I paid $185 with tax for mine (locally). You have to drill out the sides. It works pretty well, and may be considerably cheaper than their plastic feeder, depending on your calculated shippinig cost. Theirs has legs, and is definitely preferable for horses that have shoes. We tied ours to a pipe panel fence. Due to the rounded ends on the tank, it may be slightly easier to put a full bale in their plastic feeders. The netting does appear to be indestructible. I have had to do a little of mending to Cinch Chix netting, but that is probably due to the way I have mounted them on the bottom of barrels in that it motivates to grab and swing them. Have become good at netting knots using parachute cord. The horses are horrified when they come back and find out what I have done. We have been feeding horses once a day for some time. While they still probably go 8 or more hours without food at night, they seem to be happy, and have had no colic incidence since, whereas I had had two episodes of colic in older horses before (dehydration related, on early winter days when it is cold at night and warm during the day). Now I am going to tend to my three dots to delete the last message, like a good girl. By the way, if anyone does not know how to delete old messages from a cell phone, there is an easy way to do it if you get someone to show you how.
