Barn Feed Bin

[dieselscout80]

What is a good way to build a feed bin to store horse feed?

Currently we are using galvanized garbage cans, but they don’t hold much and they take up lots of space. The one good thing about the cans is they keep mice out of the feed.

What are you doing for feed storage.

Same thing that your doing trash cans . How many horses ?

 

[dieselscout80]

Just two, but I’d like to buy larger quantities of feed at a time. It would decrease the price of the feed.

 

[Peter 315]

We have 6 and use 2 bags( 100lbs) a month How much you feeding

 

[dieselscout80]

The one is a old thoroughbred that we have a hard time keeping weight on, so we feed beet pulp to her and it is bulky.

The other horse only gets a small handful.

 

[Peter 315]

That's funny we feed beet pulp (soaked) to are old mare. Its 14.00 a bag 40lbs at Blue Seal might be kent down there

 

[dieselscout80]

We soak ours too, but it comes in 25lb bags.

Rubbermade Brute cans come in 32, 44 and 55 gallon sizes. Your metal can is probably 20 or 32 gallons.

Will mice it through these the Rubbermaid cans?

if you can find a old chest freezer with a lid you are in business.
