What Size Waterer is Best for You?
​The the bottom of Drinking Posts should be installed a minimum of 18″ below the local frost line.
Identifying what size waterer is appropriate for your specific application will be determined by two factors:
-
What type of animals will use the Drinking Post Waterer?
-
What is your local frost line?
-
​
All Drinking Posts are the same diameter and have the same size bowl. Depending on your specific application, you can install the Drinking Post Waterer such that the height of the unit when installed is at whatever height above ground you desire.
You want to ensure that your animals are able to reach the top of the waterer comfortably.
Generally, this is the typical height of the Drinking Post Waterer above ground level once installed:
​
Horse Waterer - 3′ Above Ground Level
Cattle Waterer - 18″ – 24″ Above Ground Level
Sheep & Goat Waterer - 12″ – 24″ Above Ground Level
