How long are you going to keep water in them throughout the year? With your cold weather, if you don't drain or bury when you get to long freezing periods you will have to worry about splitting the sides. That said I have kept minnows in one in the yard and the ground contact has kept the last 6 inches from freezing solid until it warms up. We get about a week or two of negative mornings to teens afternoon, but no long, can't find your pecker because it retreated too far, stretches of cold.
You don't have the weather that makes you want to move and question your sanity for living there from November to March.
Ed, these are a big hit around here:
That makes me feel intelligent....
Ideally through the end of November, but that won't always happen. Sometimes it's 40, sometimes it's 2 degrees.
Those look nice but that msrp kind of scares a simple oil changer from Wisconsin..Ed, these are a big hit around here:
A buddy of mine is a dealer and installs them on people’s land all the time.
lol everyone should understand
If you are going to bury something, I would get an ibc tote, cut it to suit. Refilling is going to be your problem. Do you have a way to run water or carry it to refill? Metal stock tanks are fine without ground contact, but pretty expensive compared to a tote. Just my $.02
You too Thomas
I’ve had a sinus infection for the last week and that hasn’t stopped me..
Gotta pay to play they say. I hear ya though, they certainly aren’t cheap. But they work. They hold water and do so more naturally than a tank above ground. You could easily work these into your existing pond sites with your skid steer to shape the ground accordingly.
office dwellers are different
