[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 785016, member: 2905"] I build similar troughs out of plastic barrels except I bolt 10 sections(30ft) end to end and attach treated 16' 2x4s with deck screws on the side of the barrel sections near the ground. The 4 sections on each end have a board only on 1 side while the 2 center section have boards on both sides. You can make them whatever length that fits your needs. Like cfpinz, I have found the troughs inexpensive, user friendly, very durable and animals don't get trapped when falling into them like the store bought ones. BTW-have found it best to use the darkest color (blue) barrels I can buy as they seem to not get brittle like the white ones. Also I use food grade barrels if at all possible. [/QUOTE]
