Water and feed bucket holders fitted to stable walls, doors, or field shelters - keeps buckets secure, accessible, and off the floor where they won't get kicked over.
### Stop Chasing Kicked-Over Buckets
If you're constantly **refilling buckets that get kicked, stood in, or knocked over**, wall-mounted holders solve this daily annoyance. Water stays clean, feed stays off the ground, and you stop wasting time and money on spilled buckets.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fit bucket holders at comfortable drinking/feeding height for your animals - they drink more if it's easy to access. Too high and they struggle, too low and they can kick them or get legs caught.

Good to Know
> 🐴 **Horse behavior:** Horses will test bucket holders by pulling, pushing, and generally seeing if they can destroy them. Make sure fixings are solid and brackets are robust - flimsy ones don't last. **Bucket removal:** All good holders let you lift buckets out easily for cleaning and refilling. Make sure you can actually lift your full buckets out of the bracket before permanently mounting it. **Field shelter positioning:** Mount away from corners where animals might get trapped behind a full bucket. And high enough that bedding/ground material doesn't contaminate water. **Multiple buckets:** Many yards have one holder for water, one for feed. Position feed higher if possible - harder for animals to waste by pulling hay out. **Material:** Galvanized or plastic holders last longest. Painted steel rusts in barn/stable conditions. Spend a bit more on weatherproof brackets if they'll be outside.
Frequently Asked Questions about Water bucket holder fitting in Sidmouth
What type of bucket holders do you fit?
Usually the over-door type or wall-mounted brackets - whatever suits your setup. Over-door ones hook over stable doors (no drilling), wall-mounted ones screw into stable walls or fence posts. I'll advise what works best for your situation. Bring your buckets when I visit to make sure holders fit them properly.
How high should bucket holders be mounted?
Depends what you're keeping. Horses: chest/shoulder height typically. Smaller animals proportionally lower. Goal is animals can drink comfortably without straining up or down, but not so low they can get legs in or tip it over. I'll position based on your specific animals.
Can you fit them in field shelters?
Yes - wall-mounted ones work well in field shelters. Just need solid wall to fix into (timber frame, blockwork, whatever you've got). Over-door types need a proper door to hook over, which field shelters often don't have. I'll work with what your shelter has.
How many can you fit in one visit?
As many as you need - each one adds maybe 10-15 minutes once I'm set up. Common to do several in a yard with multiple stables or shelters. Much more efficient than me coming back separately for each one.
Do they work with all bucket sizes?
Most holders adjust or come in different sizes. Standard ones suit typical 20-litre feed/water buckets. If you have odd-sized or different shaped buckets, let me know before I get the brackets so I can get ones that'll actually fit.
