[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1829165, member: 8359"] Got to love the useful convenient height of those water lines...nice. If it were mine in cold climates... I would only have them sticking out 6" from the ground. In any event, either way, tall or small....I'd just build a quick framed..light-weight enclosure box with trap hinged door on top- for access to hose connections. and insulate the inside (w/foam-reflective aluminum)...then add a small enclosure electric thermo-stat heater @ base (heat rises) 100 to 150 watts...turns on below 32 degrees. One small hole for power-cordage caulked. Slip that heater-box with access door over the pipes. You have convenient 120vac power 3 feet away. In spring time you just remove the box altogether and store it for next winter. [/QUOTE]
