  • A: Includes all mounting hardware. There are 2 metal brackets for attaching onto wood style coop and 2 plastic clips that gets screwed on the tube itself.

Poor Design

2 months ago
This waterer has a great concept, but the overall design needs significant improvement. The tube is so long that you practically need extremely long arms to reach the bottom. The instructions require drilling brackets directly into the water reservoir. It’s not surprising that leaks can occur when screws are inserted into a container designed to hold water. Unfortunately, these design flaws outweighed the benefits, and I ended up returning the product.

We appreciate the feedback. The self tap screws do not let water leak out. If it did - something else is going on. We are always here to help troubleshoot at the Rugged Ranch office.

Terrible for the price

a year ago
Hangs easy… setting it up wasn’t easy , long skinny arms needed . My chickens have been using it for a couple months and now they both leak. It’s very annoying to get it all set up and now I still have to replace the water daily !!!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Response from Rugged Ranch Answers:

Rugged Ranch Answers
The water should not leak and because you say both leak, something is not connected correctly. Please call the office to discuss and send photos showing where the leaking is to info@ruggedranch.net 760-734-3748
