1st time weld feeder project. I get my motivation from my buddy Red, TBH'ers and Youtube, Thx. Ya'll make things look easy and fun. No more draggin that ladder to the feeder...
Good job - that is my favorite feeder design. After having a ladder slip on me and riding an unstaked feeder to the ground I did two things that made my feeder-filling duties much easier - and safer. Switching to platform feeders and making these spring-loaded "flip-top" lids.
Nice feeder. As stated above that feed pen is way to small especially with the wire you are using. I vote to make it bigger or at a minimum only use three strands of barb wire.
I would highly recommend cutting the wire down and making that pen a big circle using 6-8 panels. 8 panels will give you ~40' diameter pen. It sounds big, but I now sometimes have 5 deer feeding in the pen at once
