4 out of 5 starsI built this item over the weekend and have to say there are several things in here that make me believe it's 100% AI generated and that the seller has no idea what he's doing. it calls for putting a 4" screw thru a 6" board to connect boards together. there are other places where incorrect fasteners are called for. there are some incorrect instructions on spacing out boards. and with 5 of these giant 6x6 boards on the ground the thing is impossible to move. I do like the basic design. I modified it so that only 2 skids are on the ground and the other 3 cross 6x6 boards sit on top of those 2 skids. I added some eye bolts to attach a chain to my tractor so I can easily drag it on those 2 skids. I added some additional structure to the upright 6x6 because I didnt trust 2 screws to hold that while I'm dragging it around

Thanks, Ed. As discussed privately, the screw-length issue was my oversight. I appreciate you flagging it, and I’ve corrected it along with the spacing issues you raised. One clarification: the review gives a different impression of how my plans are created. I develop the projects myself, including 3D models, dimensions, cut lists and assembly sequence. I take pride in that work and keep AI use very limited, mainly for conversions and final checks. I remain responsible for the finished guide. Each plan includes a 3D model, so any joint can be checked before cutting. The guide recommends lifting the feeder rather than dragging it. When you asked about raising the crossmembers, I explained the changes and offered a free one-page supplement. I’m glad you built it and like the design.

5 out of 5 starsJust purchased this as I was trying to find a covered round bale feeder. I wasn't a fan of some of the online options and started looking for building options. The instructions and guide are extremely well laid out and easy to understand. I am looking forward to building this and, if all goes well, will hopefully be making one for each pasture.

Frequently asked questions
How do I access my purchase?
Right after checkout, Etsy will give you a link to your downloads. Depending on the product, you will get either a PDF you can download directly, or a small PDF that links to a Google Sheets file you copy into your own Google Drive.
Either way, you can open everything on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Most products are also designed to print cleanly at home if you prefer paper.
If you have trouble accessing anything, message me through the shop and I will walk you through it. I respond within 24 hours.
Can I get a refund?
Because everything in the shop is an instant digital download, Etsy's policy does not allow returns or refunds once a file has been delivered. This is standard across the platform for digital products.
That said, if anything is wrong, a file does not work, you cannot access it, or you are not happy with what you received, please message me through the shop before leaving a review. I respond within 24 hours and I will make it right. My goal is for everything I sell to genuinely help. If something is broken or unclear, I want to fix it.
Can I share or resell what I buy?
Everything in the shop is licensed for personal use only. That means you can use the products yourself, print them, save them on your devices, and build the projects in the plans for your own home or homestead.
You may not resell, redistribute, share publicly, or use any of the files for commercial purposes. This includes uploading the files to other platforms, selling printed versions, or using the designs to produce items for sale.
If you build something from a Firesided plan, I would love to see it. Tag the shop on social media or send me a photo through Etsy messages. Sharing photos of your own builds is always welcome.
