Anyone ever drill rubbermaid stock tank

[Louie]

If you want to ensure a clean cut, clamp a piece of scrap plywood to both inside and outside making a sandwich of the plastic. It reinforces it while drilling, and gives a much cleaner and more accurate hole. Best of luck.

Thanks. I drilled the holes last night on the 75 gallon trough will drill the bigger one today.

I put in 4 holes . 2 just in case it pours more than 4 inches of water as dont want trough to go beyond 3/4 full of water and 2 for intake/outake filter hoses. Its for a male map-coooter turtle.

Using the holesaw/wood bit it was easy as can be.

Oh, and I live in zone 6b if thats any help

Thanks. When I think of Missouri. I think of some serious cold lol.
