[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1016156, member: 19930"] We never put the hydrant in concrete but in any permanent situation the tank is on a concrete pad. In some cases the tank is bisected by a hot fence and water is delivered from the side - the tank is bolted to the concrete. Hydrants are contained within a wire panel enclosure wrapped around a couple of T-Posts. If the tank is not directly bolted to concrete (not bisected by hot wire) , then the tank is chained to the T-Post and wire panel and the float is protected from the cows. We usually can get by with an 8 foot section of panel. If we don't hit the inside of the cattle panel with Round Up to minimize weeds it can get pretty thick and 'snakey' inside the wire. Otherwise it works pretty well for us. [/QUOTE]
