Two 4×4 posts, set 2'-6\" (76 cm) in the ground and 36\" (91 cm) apart, carry one boarded wall topping out at 7'-3\" (2.21 m) and a braced shed roof that leans 3'-4\" (1.02 m) out from it. Under that canopy hangs an open-top trough box 10\" (25 cm) deep overall and 12\" (30 cm) inside front to back, rim 2'-8\" (81 cm) above grade: licking height for cattle, with the boarded wall taking the weather off their backs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\" wide × 7'-3\" to the roof top · 3'-4\" roof reach (91 cm × 2.21 m · 1.02 m)\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.
