Why 10ft?
Cause 9’ ain’t tall enough
Top rail for chain link fence will work perfectly

We use two trees and a snatch block to get the feeder up over 10' and use a side by side to lower it down to fill it then raise it back up when full. Keeps squirrels out of it and coons from destroying it.
You're going to get very tired of climbing that ladder with sacks of corn to fill it if you don't fall and hurt yourself first.
I've had hanging feeders too and they can be a recipe for injury. If you go with hanging, be damn careful under it or around the winch if you don't pull it up with an atv. A hand winch will break bones or knock your teeth out if you let the handle slip and a few hundred pounds falling from a tree if a rope pops could be deadly. Metal cable is safer than rope. Squirrels will chew rope.
I've gone to ground level directional feeders. I don't have a pig problem but if I did, I'd still use them but run a fence around them. I can fill them while standing on the ground. They throw corn about 20 feet.

We have hogs and bears so a ground feeder would not last long.

My buddy puts a boat winch on one tree and a cable with a pulley on the next tree, about 15 ft a part. Up in the air it's between the two trees but he lowers it to the ground to fill it.
It's a set up that you don't want to move very often.

From my experience the taller the feeder the less skittish the deer seem and more deer use them.
I build my own. Legs are 8ft. Pic is from tonight.IMG_20231230_230650.jpg

I would love to order a couple of the Texas Hunter feeders but the shipping is a killer.

We have mainly tripods, but a few we still winch in the air. I cannot agree about the higher the better, I use to believe that way, not anymore.
I think they are just as skittish if not more of one hanging 30ft above their head. Doe are constantly looking up at them. If you don't have bear, I'd go tripod all day long. Rarely have a hog even bump the pole out a lil.
Either way works, tripods are easier.0b6dc5f0-2373-4cba-a0a2-2af02d15c14d.jpg070f11dc-2b22-4679-90aa-9d579b7baf63.jpgb888fc6c-b3e6-4cb0-b453-40c913f82a64.jpg The feeder is hanging 30 ft in the air.749d85dd-54d9-4974-9449-f633c89bbdb0.jpg

$300 ain't bad coming out of TX. If you're considering one of the hideaways just think about like this... Considering they are "on sale", now instead of getting the discount you're paying full price with free shipping. Would it make you feel any better if they built shipping into the cost of the feeder? It's all the same either way you slice it.
