Could I attach this to an aluminum fence?(With 3-4inches in between all of the slats...)

To be honest i woulndt recomend it , the weight of the water plus pressure made by the drinking animal could make level be unbalanced , tipping it foward and water could continuesly come out

Yes. Make a backing plate to bridge 2 slats. This will distribute the weight and help support the bowl as it will bend when water is put in it if not supported.

You can easily attach it by sandwiching the fence between a 2X4 and the water trough, I attached mine to the chicken coop and hard piped it in with PVC pipe. It was so simple.

I wouldn't waste my money on these waterers, they are cheap plastic, floats are breaking from a simple adjustment and the drains are not snug and leak. They are not worth your time or expense in my opinion. I had baskets welded from iron to hold them and use plumbers tape to correct the leaks and they are still going to end up in the landfill in the near future.

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY

I would say yes I mounted mine to 2 4x4 stack on top of each other on top of my privecy fence post with lag bolts

If the slats are closely placed it shouldn't be a problem-if they're more than a few inches apart I'd get a piece of plywood or other foundation to lay over them.

That would be easy, just use the appropriate hardware. They do get heavy when filled with plants, dirt and water, so I'd make sure the fence is able to support the weight.

Not well unless it is placed on one slat across to secure. We got thin plywood covered with a fitted sheet and placed it over our slats and it worked great

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result

Yes you can, however what I would do is bolt a 2x4 across the two studs and then bolt this to the 2x4. It will work great. God bless and have a great and safe week. let me know how it turns out. t

Not easily - it has two holes in back for mounting on a flat surface with two screws. Depending on the fence you might be able to rig something up, but that's not what its designed for.

I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember. But I don't see why not-----. However, Mine was too tall for the fence I wanted it against, so I dug holes and buried it to the bottom "rung". This might work for you.

The top of the support is steel and has two pre-drilled holes in it. So whatever you attach the support to has to be able to be screwed into. If the slats are wood, you could get two of these and put one on each slat.

Sure, but I bought a 12 foot wether resistant 4x4 and sunk that 2 foot and mounted it on that. It might be a little difficult the way you want it cause fence poles are usually 2" in diameter. But it could be done. I would prefer something flat like the 4x4.

I don't think I would do that. It woud be hanging over the edges about 4" on each side.

I believe installing it on any kind of metal post would be difficult. If you got very creative I'm sure it could be done. You do need a good space between the gate and the post. 1/2" minimum. It can easily adjust for more spacing. Check out the manufactured website. They even have a contact number and you can speak with someone directly. Best of luck!

Yes you can. There are plaStic slats just like thickish bars. Give thought to where you want to hang things though. You can easily have an issue with the perches.

You could but you'd have to do some work to it first. The bottom is just thin wood slats, you'd have to bulk up the bracing and put some plywood down.

You should have no problem folding it over and making it a 3' fence. I just installed it on a 4' fence and used zip ties through the mesh at the 2' and 3' levels to prevent the wind from ballooning the mesh. I used the smallest sized ties so that they would penetrate the mesh easily although the next larger sized tie would work ok I think.
