[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1469150, member: 18945"] Had any trouble with the nails/screws falling apart? I have a small one I built as a loose salt/loose mineral feeder but at times also put 3:1 or 2:1 range meal in it.. 4 yrs old now but even with galvanized bolts and nails, it's fasteners are succumbing to salt corrosion especially on the trough itself and the legs. Also, the salt does something to the wood. Dunno how to describe it, but the wood has become soft & fibrous on the outside..kind of 'hairy' if you know what I mean. It was oak and pt yellow pine.
