1. My legs are shorter and therefore so is the piece of pvc going to the T
2. Inside the pvc T I used two bolts to add a 1inch piece of right angle (rouded to fit in the bottom of the T) to both sides to slow the rate of loss.
3. All Treads attaching the edges of the top of the "T" to the barrel for added support.

I closed off one end of a 3" piece of square tubing. Then I drilled a 3/4" hole on all 4 sides about 1" up from the bottom. Just attach it to the bottom of your barrell making sure its only around 42" above the ground. The deer pull the corn out with their tongues but the cows can't. Everyone on my lease used this method and it worked great.

We have one that is just a 55 gal barrel with three 4" tube spouts welded to it and legs to make the bottom of the barrel 36" +- off of the ground. The spouts are cut at an angle to keep moisture intrusion to a minimum. The barrel has a 1" cut out at the bottom of each spout for feed to go through, and the spouts have a piece of rod welded across the bottom lip to keep spillage to a minimum. Works better than any of our other ones that tend to clog in the pipes and can be filled from the ground.
