Hi, would use spring feeders with blue drums and lid on top, spring should be 17, 18 inches off ground. This will stop vermin getting into feeder, which would be the main problem, with the one you built and some idiot decided to use for target practice!! Have a look at this website http://www.maceoinltd.com/
