I have seen rats chew thru a metal lined storage bin. I think maybe 3/4" welded metal might be varmint proof, maybe. Seriously, so far I haven't had too much trouble with critters getting into the feed that's in covered storage bins. I've had my thick rubber feed barrel the longest and it's had no damage from critters. I love my milking machine (have the same one as you). It beats milking by hand! When I strip her out I give the milk to my LGD. It's her reward for keeping the steer away. I am working on building a milking room.

I biggest issue is with Squirrels. They like to come and visit and see what we through out for the chickens. Sun flower seeds really get them going. Glad the milking machine is working out for ya. it is much better than milking by hand for sure!
