[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1448870, member: 21194"] I bought some of the black plastic and galvanized tubing ones close to 10 years ago and modified them. They're still in nearly perfect shape. When I got them I removed the tub, then turned the frame upside down on a pair of saw horses. I stretched 16" flashing tin across the bottom ribs (so that it will be between them and the pan), wrapped it around the two end ones a little more than half way, and secured it with several good sized sheet metal screws. I then put the pan back in place, and added more screws; two or three times as many as there had been originally. Then finished by drilling a few holes through the pan and tin to drain rain water. I use them to feed my mature cows, and routinely see one with her front feet up in the trough, but the tin keeps them from ruining it. [/QUOTE]
