The bigger concern for me is the lack of a backflow preventor on the hydrant. We recently had a hydroseeder in a local town hook up without a backflow device and several neighborhoods went without water for 3 days while the lines were flushed.

What I have heard many say is just over 4' so you could lay a 4'x8' sheet lengthwise along the wall and still have outlet access. I like mine lower like in a home. No real reason other than asthetics and personal preference.
