[QUOTE="preston39, post: 90693, member: 1487"] ==== running arrow, Good thought...we have applied the oil based paint after a thorough cleaning of the bottom ring...but I am not sure it helped any. I don't think metal will stand up in that acid enviroment...no matter what is done...even the heavy duty ones. That 5 month exposure...nov - march...is heavy on metal. We have tried adding 10"pedistal extensions(4 on the bottom ring) with a 1' square base to raise the bottom ring up off the ground. It would appear that extended the life about 25%. These are easy to change...just fixed with 2 u bolts around the bottom ring. We are spending a lot of bucks on the ones needing replacement each year so we are trying to find an answer. [/QUOTE]
