    DIY Gravity feeders

    I saw a video on you tube about DIY feeder tubes.... So I bought materials at home depot and got it done. First I welded a barrel and 2/3 of another barrel together and made leg kits.
    Then I bought enough to make 2 feeders. 3-4 inch toilet bowl flange...3inch pvc( you can use 3 or 4 inch with flange) 3 is cheaper and lets less feed go. Also a cleanout T and galvanized gusset plates to deter the cooms from hanging on it. And glue it all together and painted black.... I know the paint will not hold up... But will hide it a little. Heading to Kansas tomorrow evening to get food plots worked and feeders going! Can't waitClick image for larger version

                    Why 2/3 of a barrel? Why not the whole barrel or 1/2 on each? They look great but just wondering...

                            Got the feeders set up in Kansas and Had deer on them within an hour and a half. The Angle seemed to work fine, and the deer are hammering them. I did the barrell and 2/3 in order to slide the top 1/3 into the other barrell for stability before I welded them and to not make it to tall to not be able to fill it with a 6 ft step ladder. Its all just how you want to build it... These are working so far... The only thing I worry about is when it runs out of feed... I hope the deer dont break off the pvc trying to get feed out.... The only reason I say that is because we had deer break off a couple of spincast last year when it got cold in late december and there was no more corn.
