Yep. X4

lift them up and place a rock under each, worked for me.

I like the soup can idea though.

We bought the Moultrie feet at Academy for ours and has solved our problem. They are like $12 for a set of 3.

Nice avatar BTW.

Shove each leg into a dry bag of sack-Crete. It will harden over time and serves to prevent sinking and prevent toppling by hogs.

This is what I did on one of our feeders we were having trouble with.

Go to Home Depot and buy some of those 1’ or 2’ pieces of rebar. I use 2’.

Drill hole about 6’ from bottom of leg lateral thru the tubing slightly larger than the rebar piece. Instead rebar piece in leg.

I also buy those shorter garden stakes (like a T post, but much shorter and flimsier). I drive it into the ground at the end of where the leg touches the ground. I then fold it over and tie wire to the leg in two places. This keeps the pigs from knocking it over.

we use Tposts cut off to about 3', hammer 18" in the ground and use bailing wire to tie the feeder legs to the Tpost. Works great, keeps the hogs from being able to flip the feeders, keeps the legs from sinking, and even holds up the feeder when the ground washes out around the legs.

Not very many flat/big rocks lol. Sand/clay roads

Looks like I'm going to go with the pavers but still interested in everyone's ideas.

We tack weld a piece of rebar onto a piece of angle iron to make a Tee. Stick the rebar up into the feeder leg.

Drill hole about 6" from bottom of leg lateral thru the tubing slightly larger than the rebar piece. Instead rebar piece in leg. weld on both sides

This is what I do. Come up 6" from the bottom of the leg. This allows the leg to sink just enough to bite in to the ground, and keep them from pushing it out. I don't even stake them any more.
