My neighbor finds the oddest things and brings them home by the tractor trailer load.He drives his own rig an brings stuff home he gets for free then after sitting around the farm awhile he tries to just give the stuff away. His latest is a trailer load of food grade 275 gallong IBC totes that he has a free sign hanging on now. Looks like I should be able to make something from one or two but prior to bringing it to my place to just sit there I need an idea how to make a corn feeder out of it for deer. Any suggestions?

Somewhere in here a guy was using 4 of them stacked up to make a shooting house out of.

There used around my area during the algea harvest. The totes sell for around a hundred bucks, if food grade and have lids!

Have one back of garage that has the downspout routed to it. Use it for watering potted plants and early on for the garden transplants.

You talking the plastic or stainless totes?
Plastic ones are good for a trash bin by the road in the front the single wide.
Stainless is good for fuel.

The plastic ones get brittle in the sun even if they are white plastic. If you want one to last, pull the bottle from the frame and paint it white with latex paint as a UV barrier. Then put it back in the frame. It will now last much longer.

The rednecks pull the tote, make a deer blind
Then repurpose the cage by wrapping it in chicken wire and then putting their gamecocks in each one. See a yard with 3 Camaros and 87 game cocks each in their own little abodes
Or they use the plastic totes for dog houses.

There is a guy on the net that uses the cage to sell firewood. Has a hot wife also, Morgans

I know a guy that stacks one on top another cuts door and windows it it for a deer blind but it is pretty small you'd be better off with a popup blind. Saw a video where a someone used it to make a shower same concept as the deer blind.

If I lived nearby I'd have to take a few off his hands. They'd be great for water storage here, as KYhilljack pointed out.
Slum, I guess the cages with chicken wire are cheaper than the "dogloos" they used to use around here. Whole field of little igloos with a stake and a tied up rooster.

I can get a few of these totes from our water treatment plant. I still got connections.
But, if I haul anything else into this yard, I’ll have to paint Conrad on the mailbox.

Some folks cut a side out of them and store firewood in them.
As mentioned earlier, several folks use the metal cages for selling/transporting firewood.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

I used one several years ago, for laying concrete block.
Didn’t have a curb stop on the main yet.
Then, I knew of some boys that had a mobile carwash business, pumps, two tanks, trailer mounted rig.
A lot of uses.
