I loosely followed these plans as I had some material around the farm I used on this project. Most importantly is that I did not want this up against the fence. (Horses will fight over who has the best position for the hay). I decided to put a horizontal piece on all 4 sides instead of 3 like the plan above calls for. The tallest side horizontal piece is only held in by one screw on each side to allow loading of bale.
Thank you for watching and please let me know if you build it!

When it rains sideways how do you keep it from getting wet and moldy?

[@JessicaRetzleff-ks5tq]

I like the design of the round bale feeder. What size of bales fit?

[@EmmanuelPezoa]

Nice

[@noahling3725]

Will it only fit 4x4 bales?

How has this worked for ya? Can you share an update with your horses using it? We just switched from feeding square to round and looking to build something. Love yours!

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

It has worked great. The horses love it as it keeps the hay much drier than plopping a bale in the field
