I built the feeder myself. I built a 3 cornerd base out of sqaure tubing and welded it to the bottom of the barrel. Then I welded a 6 inch piece of shaft at an angle on each corner. The legs are pipe that fit over the shaft. Makes it easy to take down and put up. Just pull one leg off and lay the barrel down and remove other legs. I bought an automatic feeder from Cabelas and mounted it on the barrel. I originally built it for deer so the base is 5 feet off the ground. It is to short for the elk and moose because they have learned that they can get feed out of it by licking the spinning plate. I had to put a cage around it to stop them.
