Creep feeder recommendation

[Hughesy]

Just went to get a creep feeder ready for the early lambers but the trough has corroded in it, I have to say I’m disappointed with the build quality of it its really not that old 7 years maybe.
I’m now looking to replace it! Any recommendations on brands. I looked at two online today the Richie one was £100 dearer than the other which is the brand I already have and won’t be buying another but will it be any better?? Open to any ideas!

Portequip if I was buying one, what has gone on yours though? A piece of 8” gutter and a few tex screws can fix some of them up, or plywood or 1mm sheet of metal?

A sheet of 6mm exterior grade ply cut into various sized strips will do the troughs of two 8' lamb creep feeders. Takes 2 or 3 hours to do one (depending on how bad they are).

We have four of these, oldest one is more than 10 years old, it's as good as new. Their made in Northern Ireland but I have seen lots of them in the mainland aswell.

2018 drought saw the creep feeders come out for the first time in 20 years, all rusted out so the old hay racks got plyboarded up as bulk feeders, worked really well but obviously not rain proof and ewes would have a field day!

How much is one of those, like the idea of the floor in it to stop lambs paddling in mud.

The time we bought ours they were £350 I think.
