Vintage limestone trough A56
Item is exactly as seen in photos and videos above.
DIMENSIONS: 46x32cm
WEIGHT: TBC
Our vintage troughs are each completely unique. Once used to hold water for animals in Indonesia, we're excited to be able to give them a new purpose in life.
Use them as planters, water features or maybe even a sink... Options are endless!
Being vintage, each has it's own beautiful shape with quirks that reflect their age and use.
These vintage troughs should be properly treated for the intended purpose. If using as a planter, we suggest adding a drainage hole and a lining. If using as a fountain or sink we suggest professional installation and, again, the inclusion of a lining/sealant to protect your beautiful piece and ensure longevity.

SEALING: Sealing your piece involves thoroughly scrubbing the internals with a wire brush and removing sediment with a vaccume. We then seal any large/open cracks or suspicious looking sections with either a cement render or sikaflex. Finally we apply 3-5 coats of Shalex clear rubber sealant. Your piece is filled with water for a minimum of 4 hours to check for leaks prior to sending. $50-$150, size dependant. Estimated 2-3 week turnaround
FOUNTAIN CONVERSION: Includes the above (only all fountains are rendered). Once sealed a hole is drilled to allow for power (10m long power cord). We install a pump with a single upright copper spout, this pump includes a 2 year warranty. You will be consulted re placement of the power cord and height of the spout. Once finished the fountain is run for a 4hr period to ensure no leaks are present. $500, estimated 3-5 week turnaround ** For dual or gooseneck spouts please contact us for a quote
DRAINAGE: If you would like a drainage hole added, this is complimentary. We will contact you to discuss placement. For sink waste installation please contact us for a quote/options
** We do our absolute best to ensure troughs are completely water tight when sealing and/or converting. On occasion however, small leaks can occur during transit as a result of rough movement during transport. If this does occur with your item, please use a clear sikalfex to fill the affected area, or contact us and we will provide some for you. If this is of concern, we are more than happy to provide a detailed D.I.Y pdf so you can treat your chosen trough yourself! Just email hello@bigdaisy.com.au
FREIGHT: Our website will estimate freight at check out, please feel free to contact us prior to purchase for a quote. It's quick and easy for us to whip up a quote for you and there's no hard feelings whether you do or don't proceed. If you have access to a commercial address with a forklift this can help reduce freight, alternatively troughs are delivered palletised via tail lift so that they can be unloaded with ease and rolled to a convenient location. Please note, drivers will not be able to manually position troughs or manoeuvre the pallets past obstacles such as stairs, steep hills or gravel.
