Nice, looks like that'll work!
How are you going to prop them up or attach them to a tree?

I have 4 cheap ratchet straps that I could use for securing it to a tree or 4 x 4. I have been thinking lately about security though. I could mount a couple of eye bolts and then use cable or chain to make sure they don't just walk off.
The reason I asked is because 7+ feet is pretty high to be lifting bags of corn. It's gotta be something that can be taken off fairly easily so you can lean the tubes over to fill. I had a 5' feeder attached by large zip ties and sometimes there was a lot of spillage when refilling...

I will definitely be leaning these over for filling. I think the ratchet strap idea makes the most sense for a quick release. Either that or straps with quick release buckles, I am not so sure they are up to the task though, I have a good idea these things are going to hold 2 full bags of corn.
What have you found to be the right height off the ground?
