[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 632425, member: 9043"] We install our hydrants into a 5 gallon bucket that sits on gravel. I know that there is 100 different ways to install them. But you need the water to drain fast so you need an air space. Gravel will fill in with silt and will not have an air space left. The top of the bucket needs to be 6” below your frost line. [url=http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/resmgmt/publist/500series/590307-2.pdf]http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/resmgmt/publis ... 0307-2.pdf[/url] From what I have always been told by rednecks is the more traffic on the ground the deeper the frost will be pushed down. I do not know how true this is but with out stealing the tread what’s your thought? [/QUOTE]
