    I change out the screw at the bottom, and run a 10/24 through from the inside, and use a wingnut to hold the cover.

    Add some thin gasket material to keep bugs out.



    I also use a 5w solar panel, so I can run the lights on the feeder when I want.

    You finish your feeder off and make em look purdy. Nice paint job !

      I've made two this year mainly because I had 90% of the parts needed. If you don't have a good barrel, check with a local water well driller for a failed pressure tank. these are usually 60gal-80gal and they'll usually give them to you for free. Plus one end is convex and it negates the need for an internal funnel. I made a small one (200#er) for a camp feeder before I got a larger (400#er) tank. I made the last one several years ago and it holds 650# corn. Sorry for the sideways pics.
