I built mine out of 6inch pipe 6 foot tall holds 50 pounds just put a cap on it strap it to the base of a tree your done . Deer eat it it gravity feeds down, I usually cut a v in a foot long 2x4 put it between the feeder and the tree before strapping for easy top removal.

4 inch pipe with a cap and an angle cut at the bottom is all you need... Strap it to the tree and fill it. 5 Ft will hold about 40 lbs. Big bucks like them also... Never did see that ole boy this year..

This design looks like it would collect alot of rain water. We put a cleanout on top for filling, and capped the bottom. Then drilled 2-3 1" holes in the side of the pipe. Works great.

just drill about 20 really small holes in the bottom of the cap... rain would run straight thru it... i dont think the animals will mind if the corn gets a little wet as long as its not standing water...
