Converted two of my original tripod feeders to stand and fill. All the parts were still good so decided to build some stands for them. Between some galvanized angle my old man had and some scrap unistrut I had didn’t have to buy anything except the eliminator spinners. These will be in a feed pen so don’t have to worry about pigs tearing them up.

Thanks man. I think the eliminators will solve the coon problem and I really don’t want to restrict the path of the corn and have it mostly fall under the feeder. We will see how it goes though.

^^ I've got a year's worth of pics on my recent stand-n-fill setup with coons climbing all over the stand trying to reach into the corn. My solar panels are just like shown above. If mounted solidly (top & bottom), the panel will stay in place pretty well, but you also have to make sure the wires & the metal sleeve conduit are mounted pretty good. I use metal zip-ties for holding the wire sleeve conduit in place.
