Looking for a hanging metal waterer....

[LittleRedCoopLady]

I'm looking for a hanging metal waterer. I can only find a metal waterer that sits on the ground. I don't want one that sits on the ground and I don't want one that is plastic. I'll be hanging these under my poop board. Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a hanging metal waterer? Thanks!

You can always set one up on bricks.

I've not seen any galvanized waterers meant to hang. Weight will be an issue, as it would be 8 lb per gallon, plus the actual container.

Maybe some ideas here:

You can tell me it's none of my business but why do you want a metal waterer that hangs? Just trying to help ya.

I really want to stay away from plastic if at all possible....

But why? For heating or are you concerned about BPA leaching?
You ought to be able to find a fount that is BPA free.
I'm not fond of galvanized waterers either. They eventually rust.
You could make your own hanging BPA free fount out of a pickle bucket with horizontal nipples.
Or here is one.

Galvanized hot dip and aluminum will leach much more chemicals than a UV stable food grade plastic anything from science readings. FDA approved plastics will not leech any harmful chemicals over years with liquid in them (long term storage). I can not use anything Galvanized in my restaurant for food contact because of leaching. I try to stay away from anything Galvanized for liquids JMO.
