Wall Mounted Hay Feeder For Barn
Materials Needed:
1 x 4 x 8 - Quantity depends on size and quantities of feeder(s)
1-½” - 1-¾” Wood Screws
First, I started by cutting a piece for the bottom (measurements vary) and 2 - 1’ pieces for the top.
Next, I cut a piece for the top (measurements vary).
Then, I cut a piece for the diagonal at the ends.
Lastly, I added the vertical slats. Make sure your slats are not wide enough for the goat’s head to fit through, otherwise they could get their head stuck. I also added a piece at the bottom. The piece at the bottom isn’t screwed in, it is just wedged in.
I can't say "thank you" enough for posting this idea! We just finished a run-in horse shelter and are going to add wall mounted hay feeders for inclement weather days.
This saves me a TON of money from buying them retail!!! :D
Glad we could help! Beautiful horses!
Niice! It's amazing how goats prefer to browse rather than graze. They'd much rather reach up to get something to eat rather than bend down. Thanks for sharing.
So true! I knew I had to make it sturdy enough for them to lean on.
Wow your goat barn look almost identical to ours!! My husband also mad e a similar hay feeder out of old pallets. Very nice post!!!
Thanks! It's actually a shed that we have been slowly converting into a barn. The last thing we need to do to it is add some sliding barn doors.
Great little feeder for goats even small cows. Thanks for sharing.
No problem! It can be used for several different types of animals and definitely meets our needs.
Simple and effective! Perfect for the busy farmer. Plus, you don't lose any ground space. Thanks for sharing. -Aimee
I love simplicity! Definitely a plus on not losing ground space.
