Very nice but don't forget to drill a few small holes in the bottom for water to drain out unless they will be under something covered. If I had a 6' break I would be building body panels for my dirt car, lol.

Already has weep holes drilled in it. We have a 10' break here, but these are made out of heavy wall aluminum tubing. 6" x 6" and 48" tall

Son of a gun will hold a good bit of corn. Glad to see people being creative. My wife always comes out into the garage and asks "What are you building now?".

Don't put near hogs. Looks good I made some like it out of pvc once and hogs/cows tore it to pieces. Strapped it to the tree nice and tight and got the same results.

How are you planning to mount them? Be neat if you could double the size of the mouth or even make a 4 way feed at mouth. Nice work though.

Nice design. How much do they hold? Would be a cool supplement feed setup if you could mount about 4 of them around a good size tree trunk. Would have to hog panel around it though if you have hogs.

I'd be interested in buying a couple, I think those would work great on my mexico place for those older bucks that are feeder shy. How much you thinking they will sell for?

I've been trying one of these Rednecks for protein. They work great. Use 5.5' t-post to get really secure. Hogs can't bother them. Only holds about 75 pounds though.

Best guess looking at them 35 - 45 lb range. Pretty similar in size to the PVC tubes I use.

Would be good for feeding the Alfalfa Pellets I use for just a weekend setting..If I put out 100 pounds of the Alfalfa Pellets on a Fri afternoon, 50 per pen by Sunday Morning they will be gone.
