Catch Can Stands
Evaluating Irrigation Uniformity
A simple, inexpensive catch can stand can be
built using:
1. 32 oz. disposable soda cup (Taco Bell cup)
2. 3 inch plastic drain pipe cut to 5 inch in length
3. 2 x 3 inch stud, cut to length to wedge
into plastic drain pipe
4. Steel (step-in) electric fence post
Assembly directions: The 2 x 3 inch stud
chunks wedge into the base of the cut plastic
drain pipe sections, and make the transition
between the cup and post. Electric fence
post should fit snug into the drill hole. The
screw may be placed through the side of the
plastic drain pipe into the 2 x 3 inch” stud chunks.
Electric fence post and cups can be stored
and transported in separate stacks.
The total cost per unit is less than one dollar
and requires only a saw and a drill. The
catch can stand will allow data collection in
fields with crops up to 30 inches.
