Take a 55 gallon drum and bolt a 4x4 on each side. Cut a hole in the bottom for a funnel to go through. Screw a toilet flange over the hole for the funnel. Glue a short piece of 4" pvc onto the flange. Glue a tee onto it and then glue a short piece of pvc coming out of the tee. Dig the post holes to make the finished height around 40" from the ground to bottom of the pvc coming out of the tee. I screwed a 2x4 under the pipe to help support it. Yes coons can still get in but they haven't been to bad. Occasionally a big hog can rear up and get some corn but that doesn't happen very often.

Coons don’t chew them, they hang on them and rake the food out the hole to the hogs.
Then there are the god forsaken ravens
I hung pig pipes up vertically for giggles and the pigs will go on hind legs and slap them at almost 50 inches.
I’m about at the conclusion, go timed or go home.Last edited by Voodoo; 08-29-2022, 05:37 PM.
