Deerhunter, Sorry I've never posted a pic. Don't know how
. Something I'll get around to learning as it would explain things much easier.
Let me try to better explain.
Things you need to buy and glue together in order:
1: strong T-post
NOTE: ALL THIS PVC PIPE AND FITTINGS ARE THE HARD WALLED PIPE USUALLY USED IN PLUMBING APPLICATIONS (NOT FLEXIBLE). Available at Lowe's, Menards, etc.
2: 6ft. long by 5inch around pvc pipe (this pipe will hold most of feed)
3: 5inch to 3inch reducer
4: 30inch long by 3inch around pvc pipe
5: 3inch round Y fitting. (Not really a true Y. This fitting has two openings straight across from each other and the third opening is at a 30degree angle)
6: 3inch round cap
7: 5inch round cap
Assembly:
1: Glue the 5inch opening of reducer to one end of 6ft long by 5inch around pipe.
2:Cut 4inchs off your 30inch long by 3inch around pipe.
3: Glue your cut-off 4inch long by 3inch around piece into the 3inch opening of the reducer
4: Glue the 3inch Y onto other end of 4inch cutoff piece (IMPORTANT: The Y fitting,when stood on end, is shaped with two vertical openings with the third opening at about a 30degree angle. Glue the vertical opening to the 4inch cutoff piece so the 30degree angled opening is up(or towards the 5inch around pipe. This is the opening where deer will feed from).
5:Glue remainder of the 3inch around pipe into bottom opening of Y.
6:Glue 3inch around cap onto bottom of 3inch pipe.
Drive your T-post in ground
Stand your feeder up with large 5inch round pipe at top and capped 3inch pipe resting on ground and attach feeder to T-post.
Note:the opening of the Y fitting should be angled upwards at this point.
Fill with feed pouring feed into open end of 5inch round pipe
Install (don't glue) 5inch round cap on top. The cap is your lid.
I've camo painted all of mine.
Hope this explains things better.
