Try some feed stores that sell feeders. Don't know where your located, but I get 'em in Benbrook at Russell Feed.

I'm in Carthage we have a couple of feed stores, I might also try the scrap metal yard. And I have one more question idk if it matters but do the legs need to go on the inside of the brackets or the outside?

We used to use the top rails from chain link fence supplier. Then switched to used pump barrels from an oil field supply house.

And I have one more question idk if it matters but do the legs need to go on the inside of the brackets or the outside? It depends on what type of brackets / flanges you have. The ones I have have a set bolt, so they're designed for the legs to go inside.

1 1/4 or 1 1/2 sch40 pipe 1 1/4 slides into 1 1/2
21' sticks so you get three 7' ers
Most of you pipe or metal building supply will have it

There was a listing on this forum about oil field pipe. I think it was in the non-hunting classified. we have two feeders with this type pipe and we are not worried about the cows.

We used to use the top rails from chain link fence supplier... This! Get them at Home Depot and take the rails to the plumbing department and have them cut to 90" on the pipe cutter. No charge for cutting. They slip right in to the Moultrie leg kit.
Good Hunting,
Gary

Most of you pipe or metal building supply will have it This is what i do....get some stout ones and they will last you longer than the feeder

I've actually used the support pipe for an above ground pool. If someone has one they want to get rid of, get all the pipe
