Does anyone have any ideas for using some kind of webbing to make a pouch for the bottom of a barrel so that the mesh doesnt get bitten and torn like the hockey mesh tends to? I wondered if anyone had managed to make a pouch out of criss-crossed nylon webbing like the busy snacker is made of. That way the bottom would be more durable and not allow the mesh to get broken like the hockey net. Any thoughts anyone has on obtaining a premade mesh webbing pouch would be most appreciated. Thanks Lorraine

Just finished our first barrel feeder and got it hung up in the loafing shed! We took a 50 gal barrel, cut the bottom off with a SawsAll, drilled 3/8th in holes about 2" apart all around the cut off edge. Then I attached an old small mesh hay bag to the bottom using 1/4 in rope. I whipstiched it in place. To make the cover, we used the SawsAll to cut 3/4 of the top off. Then we used a couple of strap hinges to re-attach the top so it makes a good lid. We hung the finished feeder in our loafing shed on a 6x6 post using 3 - 4 inch lag bolts. The finished feeder holds over 1/2 bale of hay. Within 5 minutes of hanging it up, 3 out of 4 horses were already eating from it.

Bearcat, what did you use to attach your barrel net feeder to the fence?
