Please reconsider using this due to the possibility of chemicals from the tire leaching into the water, especially when exposed to heat and sunlight 😬 Exposed steel wire used in the tires construction if ingested, can lead to the potentially fatal hardware disease. The wire can also cut or poke the cattle.
Are there actually any advantages here over just installing a conventional trough? It looks like an expensive time consuming process with a sub optimal result to me.
You people have no idea why thwy do this. When you live where it gets minue 25, a convetntional trough is a joke. This attract heat and helps keep wind out and keep it from freezing. I live off grid so my tire water has a black rubber trough inside a tire to keep wind from freezing it. A trough will freeze solid and a tank deicer doesnt work at 35 below. My waterer is raised on pallets instead of concrete and the pallets are covered by roofing metal (dark color) because we have great sunlight. It works better than anything else we have found.
Good video, but I don't want my animals drinking from these tires since they leach so many chemicals especially in the warmer months.

You guys have no idea how to effectively install tire tanks. Seriously, your method is counter-productive and more costly.
Please send me your instructions, I want to do it your way

That’s costly man

I think you guys wasting taxpayers money.
