Quoting%20commentary for Eruvin 2:2

מֻתָּר לְהַקְרִיב לַבְּאֵר, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁתְּהֵא פָרָה רֹאשָׁהּ וְרֻבָּהּ בִּפְנִים וְשׁוֹתָה. מֻתָּר לְהַרְחִיק כָּל שֶׁהוּא, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיַּרְבֶּה בְּפַסִּין:

It is permitted to place [the boards] closer to the well [and to form a small enclosure], so long as [from the edge of the well until the boards there are two cubits (the length of the head and most of the body of the cow), so that] the head and most of the body be within when it drinks, [but not less, lest he follow his cow and take the pail outside the enclosure.] It is permitted to place (the boards) farther, any distance, [to make the enclosure as large as he wishes], so long as he adds boards. [For the farther the distance from the well, the greater the space between the boards. He, therefore, must add boards so that the distance between board and board or board and dioamud be no greater than thirteen and a third cubits, as per R. Yehudah, whose ruling is followed.]
