[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1331440, member: 12607"] After about 10 years of moving polywire fences, we finally got a pretty good idea of where semi-permanent division fences needed to be... cut the 100 or so acres of pasture up into ~5-acre paddocks. Most have a big tractor/combine tire waterer in them - those few that don't, don't mainly 'cause I've not gotten around to installing 'em - and I just let 'em have two paddocks at a time(one with tank, one without), or there's a waterway with standing water in the middle of the paddock. Probably well over a mile of 160psi black plastic waterline supplying the tire waterers, gravity-fed, from a deep (17ft, my neighbor says) upland pond... First 1300 ft or so, running downhill to the pastures, is 1.25", but necks down to 3/4 for the bulk of the runs to the tanks. All on top of the ground, and I have no intention of burying it. Yes, it freezes in winter, and will occasionally blow apart at joints. Bigfoot, have a look here: [url=http://24.154.167.53:8888/owenlea/sub09.html]http://24.154.167.53:8888/owenlea/sub09.html[/url] It's old... but still worth reading... for fellers like us that have to do it 'economically'. FWO was big on them, but if somebody wants Hudson valves - let me know, pm me... I've got a bunch that I'll be glad to let go at a very reasonable price... they may work fine for well water... but too much trash coming out of my pond... kept the screens clogged up ALL the time.
