I would thinking having a drain would be the way to go when it gets full of dirt over time. I may have to try and make a few of these for my deer pens. Concrete feed troughs would be nice as well.

I like this....I went with black round troughs and a blue 55 gallon drum cut way down but if I have to replace one, I think I might do a pour like this on a shallower scale. Nice work!
I'd build the form here and pour the concrete in the pen using water from my totes after hearing you talk about how heavy it is....Last edited by Smart; 04-28-2017, 10:14 AM.

Looks great
You did a great job, following to see when you get in place
We have used small amount of expanded metal and square tubing frame for a critter escape on our water tanks, approx size of 6"x 36" square tubing frame with expanded metal welded onto it with small tabs on end to hang it onto side of water tank

This is what NRCS requires in the troughs they help pay for. You could do something similar, only wider, to cover your float, and it would serve two purposes, protecting the float from pesky raccoons, and letting mice/birds out.
