I built a couple that hold about 50 # of corn. haven't been clogged with mud yet. once the hogs found it they'd empty it in a night, I drilled apporx 24 holes in it...I was thinking that was nowhere near enough...
Endcap with 3/8" eyebolt
Endcap with 3/8" eyebolt (inside view) Other end has a cleanout screw in cap.

Finished pipe (5' long) used a 5/16" chain and attached to eye bolt with a quick coupling. Chain is approx 5' and attached to a regular pet anchor ground screw.

I put a bell on the chain of mine, so you will know when they are pushin it around.
I think I drilled 1/2" holes in mine.Ultramatic Feeders

My two cents,
I like the pvc pipes but a more cost effective alternative is the 10 foot black-flex drainage type. One pipe $4.50 and four 6 inch band (radiator type) clamps $2.25 each = $13.50 pre-corn. Pop some holes in one end and zip tie it shut. I use a 3/4 bit but drill only approx. 4-6 per 10 foot piece placed on 45 degrees from each other about a 1.5 feet apart.
Put two clamps together (now 12 inch) anchor to a tree with about 4-5 feet being vertical fill the pipe, bouncing the corn down. Slap the other clamp on and you're done. Although recently I cut a 3 inch by 3 inch square near the bottom of the pipe - you can drop in jello or your favorite attractant. Easy and cheap to replace. Holds 1 to 2 bags of corn, just make sure a squirrel isn't in there when filling, or extra pants might be required.

I agree with the statement above but it does sound viable but a little to deep to visualize!
On the pics above how do you keep the ends on? I don't see any threads? Thanks for the response it is awesome to see the boys involved.
Man, the number of holes is definitely gonna be KEY for me since I only go up to Smith County once per month or so.
Hey Dan, you wanna start working on these this week? I will pay for the supplies but I totally suck when making stuff!
