You've never seen livestock watering system like this! Automatic No Electricity!

What happens here

Continue running the 3/4-inch poly pipe along the fence line, securing it with zip ties to keep it off the ground. At approximately 100-foot intervals (or as needed for rotational grazing paddocks), cut the poly pipe and install T-fittings. Attach a new section of pipe to the T-fitting to extend the line, and another section for the vertical drop to the water trough. Use hose clamps to secure all connections tightly. Ensure hose clamps are oriented for easy access.

Goal: Extend the main poly pipe line along the fence, installing T-fittings at desired intervals to connect additional water troughs and expand the watering system.
