Structural engineer help

Wanna build a feeder need help figuring out what size pipe to use

[txcntryboy]

Dont know what diameter, Better be thick walled though.

Also might want to add a gusset.

[BuckAssassin]

3"+ and a big 1/4" plate gusset at least 16".

I am not a PE but I am licensed to build crap and run electrical wires for a deer lease.

I also have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express!

I say use 3" pipe at the least sch. 40. Heavier is better.

That 1100# is going to translate into a lot of leverage.

wow.. 1100# feeder.. gonna need some strong stuff. good luck!! awesome looking design.. would like to see finished product.

Yeah the leverage is my problem.

If no gusset, make your support pipe run higher than the outrigger. The shape of a "4" come to mind.

Oh yeah timer at 6'. Overall 10' 6" tall

[Hoggslayer]

Need to know how tall it's going to be. Just eyeballing it if around 10 feet I would say 3.5" sch 40. Give me a height and I can run some hand calcs for you.

10'6" overall ish

[Hoggslayer]

I see 10'6" now. I can make a quick stress model at work tomorrow and tell ya what you need.

I would recommend taking your horizontal member out further and add a diaganol to meet the horizontal bar in the middle. 16" your feeder will get the crap beat out of it on the vertical. Sch 40 should be sufficient. I could see potential problems with the sleeve I.E. load, weather, rust.

[LloydMcCoy]

I didn't draw feeder stabilizer on it and it will be water tight at the pulleys. My dad is a ridiculous welder. I will volunteer him for the job. He doesn't know yet haha

[Todd-ty729]

Gonna need a bunch of concrete to keep the pole straight.

Maybe ad a brace off the back side of the pole into another spot of concrete.

I hope you are certain about the placement of this feeder!

I got your stress calculations. I can't upload pictures for some reason. Pm me your email address and ill send them to you.
