From another site..
Materials
1 - 6" tube of the length of your choice
1 - removable cap (female) for the top
1 - angled tee
1 - bottom (male) plug
Just put it together as you see. The bottom plug has holes drilled through out for drainage. Cemented it all with PVC cement and painted. This is a quick easy project.
I set it up a little off the ground also so it drains. I prop it on a small rock and strap it with bungees and done. I've sat and watched deer feed out of these from about ten yards. I thought they'd be intimidated, but they stick there face right in and eat like a dog at a dog bowl. They figures these out and get on them in short order I was surprised.
By the way I couldn't find this larger stuff at HD so I had to go to a plumbing supply place.
Have fun!
Here's a close up picture of the bottom.

. I got the idea from a friend in Switzerland County who has used them for years.
