Niko,

I apologize for not being more specific. It’s visible in a couple of the pictures. PVC pipe is always identified with it’s size. The pipe was three inches, and the fittings were for that size.
So happy you found my little project. My Louie is gone now, but that DIY fire hydrant was built to outlive me, I’m sure!

I just stumbled upon your website and trying to find out what was the width of the pipe you used. I haven’t seen any info on it. Thank you!
Btw, it looks amazing!

Stacey,

You’re so sweet, thanks for your kind words about my sweet Louie. I still miss him so much. The finished project isn’t very tall. Louie was a medium sized dog so that may give you some idea. However it is much taller than the resin and concrete fire hydrants I’ve seen for sale. No, I’m sorry I don’t remember how much it cost. PVC never goes on sale, so I know I paid full price.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope your project comes together quick and easy.

Brilliant! I love your version much better than the resin models I’m finding for sale online. Do you recall approximately how much it cost and how tall was the finished product?

Very sorry to hear about Louie.
Thank you.

In reply to Heather. Thanks Heather! I've lost my little Louie but the fire hydrant remains in his honor. I buried his ashes there using the fire hydrant as a marker to remember him always. gail

You are a total ‘legend’. Thank you so much for this. I’ve been looking to buy a fire hydrant for my puppy, but they are SO expensive. Thank you!!!

Maybe its a little silly... but it is totally cute and I love how you made it yourself. Anything for the furry memebers of the family!

Have a great weekend!
