{"product_id":"phaxth-metal-dog-fire-hydrant","title":"Phaxth Metal Fire Hydrant for Dogs to Pee on, 16.5\" H, vintage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis metal fire hydrant pee post is a fake hydrant for outdoor use, 16.5 in tall, and it comes with 2 metal stakes plus triangle anchors for fixing it to the ground. Small and medium-sized dogs are the sizes the maker names for it. The base takes up 6.5 in by 6.5 in of ground, and the unit weighs 1.18 kg (2.6 lb) before anything is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes it suit your dog and your yard?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hydrant is sized for small and medium-sized dogs, so a large or giant breed is outside the range the maker gives. Check the footprint before you pick a spot: 6.5 in wide by 6.5 in deep, with a height of 16.5 in, so the surface it stands on needs a patch at least that big.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ways of holding it down are described, and they can be combined. Push the 2 metal stakes into the ground, or fill the body of the hydrant with sand or rock; the manufacturer states that staking and filling can both be done on the same unit. On hard surfaces such as concrete or paving where stakes will not go in, the sand or rock fill is the method the maker describes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat arrives with the hydrant\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne metal fire hydrant in Rustic Red Color, model 23CF0690\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 metal stakes for driving into the ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriangle anchors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMetal body, powder-coated finish and how it is held down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is metal, finished with a powder coating that the maker describes as weather-resistant, and it is styled as a fake fire hydrant in a vintage shape. The rust-red colour and the hydrant form are decorative as much as functional: it marks a spot in the yard rather than being a plain stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilling the inside with sand or rock adds weight to the 1.18 kg (2.6 lb) unit, which is the reason the maker gives for the fill option. The two anchors and the two stakes give a second fixing point, at ground level, for lawns and beds where the legs can be pushed in. With stakes in and the body filled, the hydrant is held at both the base and the feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions about the metal pee post\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the hydrant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 16.5 in high, and the packed size is 16.5 in as well.
