Do-It-Yourself Plastic Feeders
 |
 |
"I used one 15-gal. plastic barrel and two 55-gal. barrels to make a sheep feeder. First I took the 15-gal. barrel and cut the top off. Then I cut V-shaped notches, spaced evenly around the bottom and also cut the top and bottom off one of the 55-gal. barrels. I put the barrel top facing the ground and put the bottom on top of it, which raised the feeder up a bit. The pieces of the feeder are attached together with nuts and bolts.
"Then I cut the bottom off the other 55 gal. barrel and used it for the lid on top. I attached a 2 by 4 under the lid to hold it in place.
"This was a great way to use up old barrels and they really make good feeders that are virtually indestructible."
