Instructions on how to make your own pipe/hang mount
Perhaps the best animal-proof set-up... The hang-mount above
was made out of 1" PVC pipe. It can be constructed with smaller or larger
pipe anywhere from ½" to 2" PVC. You can slightly rotate the main 90
degree elbow side to side to find the center of gravity so the feeder will hang
nice and straight. The basic list of materials for the above mount is as
follows:
- 1 ea. 13" section of 1" pipe (for only two extensions, longer
if more)
- 1 ea. small piece of 3/4" pipe (nipple) for fitting top
hanging ¾" cap
- 1 ea. ¾" cap (you will drill a hole in it for hanging wire)
- 1 ea. ¾" to ½" or smaller reducer fitting for end of tee
hook-up wire inlet (or drill hole in 2"cap)
- Minimum of 2 cable ties, or 3 if you purchased extra metal
strap for top extension at cap (Note: Extra strap shown at the top of
feeder does not come with feeder package, only bottom one.)
DO NOT use a string/rope to hang feeder, animals may bite into it, causing the
feeder to drop into your pond! Use a piece of cable or stainless steel wire.
