Sand any rough surfaces of your structure until they’re smooth and the corners are rounded.

Attach the stanchion to the base, with the feeder attachment on the outside and with the bottom aligned with the bottom of piece I, sitting on the edge of the base. Predrill holes and attach with 2-inch deck screws through pieces E and F and K.

Don’t put a screw through piece L. It has to move freely so your goats can get their heads in and out.

Prepare the O brace by following these steps:

1 Measure 2 inches and mark from the left corner of one end.

2 Draw a line from the right corner of the same end diagonally to the 2-inch mark.

3 Measure 11 inches up from that right corner and mark.

4 Measure across the other end from the same side 1¾ inches and mark.

5 Draw a diagonal line from the 11-inch mark to the 1¾-inch mark.

6 Then measure 10 inches from the original left corner and mark.

7 Draw a diagonal line to the 1¾-inch mark.

8 Saw on these lines.

9 Use the cut O piece as a pattern to draw and cut the second O piece.

Attach braces O with 1-inch screws on each side to the bottom end of the stanchion and flush with the bottom of the side piece of the base.
