I have done supplemental feeding for about 5 years now and have found that the plastic 55 gallon drums work best for me. I had pipe feeders but had problems with squirrels, coons and turkeys actually pull all the feed out of the feeders and waste alot. With the plastic drums they at least sit in them when they eat. It only takes a couple of 2x4s a couple of 1x8s and 1 8 ft piece of tin to build a shelter over the drum. It is much easier to fill then the pipe feeders and will hold 125lbs of food.
