{"product_id":"livestock-salt-box-plan","title":"Livestock Salt Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic pasture salt station from a 1948 USDA \/ North Dakota Extension plan. Livestock waste salt and minerals fast when the block sits in the mud; this holds it in an open-fronted 1×6 board box carried 18\" (46 cm) off the ground on four 6×6 posts set 2'-6\" (76 cm) in the ground, under a little gable roof that reaches forward over the lick to shed rain and snow. It's built entirely from off-the-shelf boards with nailed butt joints, sets in the ground like a fence post, and lasts for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\" W × 18\" D × 3'-0\" H open-front box on four 6×6 posts, bottom 18\" above grade (91 × 46 × 91 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 weekend (6–9 h)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx.
