I want to make a protein tube out of PVC pipe to go on the bottom of a feeder... How wide would the pipe need to be? And how can I make sure that all the protein wont just run out. Thanks in advance

Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Ive used a 4 inch tube and a t fitting at the bottom with some PVC extensions on the bottom of the T cut at a 45 degree angle. You cna use a toilet flange to attach it to the barrel. Been working well for 5 years.

Needs to be 39 inches above the ground to keep coons out and fawns in.

There is this on youtube with descriptions of a nice design. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv5SmLHh3mY. You can use even larger than 4 if you think you have a dense population. Good luck!
