Not much information is on this Forum about feeding rings. Basically a feeding ring is just a tool to contain floating feed and keep it from floating to shore in the pond. It is usually made from 1"-2" black irrigation or black polyethylene tubing. Use a connector and caulk or tape the fitting to help make it water proof. It could be made from several 'swimming noodles' linked together. Minimum ring diameter is what can be achieved with that particular tubing. Rings can be made from thin wall 3"-4" drain pipe with elbows - square shape. Tether or anchor ring near shore where pellets can be placed in the ring. Actively feeding fish or waves can splash pellets out of the ring. to prevent this a wind baffle can be added. A wind baffle is just a thin piece of 4"-8" high plastic (vinyl siding) or similar material that is attached (zip tries) inside the ring to minimize splash-out of the pellets. Once fish learn location of pellets the ring can be moved or eliminated.
