Know a guy that put a big rock on a feeder lid on legs. While attempting to remove the lid, he had forgotten there was a big rock on it. Unfortunately it fell off and hit I’m in the head. Trip to ER in Coleman and several stitches were on the agenda after that. Note to self: look for inexpensive rocks that are soft.

Remember, this guy purchased them new fangled low and throws from Buccees. All Free has to do is wear steel toed boots.

I put a 1 5/8" x 8" x 16" concrete block on top while still using the spring clips. Couple bucks at Lowes or HD for the concrete blocks

Lids can blow open, given the right wind speed and direction, on the " heaviest" made feeders.  "Live and learn." And, after having to "re-engineer" the bottom of them, I won't be buying any more.

Mine won't blow open. When Ramball made them I paid him extra to install a "Hasp" for lack of a better term in order to lock them to keep wets out of the corn feeders as they pass through. His are the absolute heaviest built corn feeders I have seen. With two welded hinges in the back and a LOCK in the front, the only thing that could possibly blow one open would be a tornado. That being the case I would have to buy new ones anyway. Frio
