Will they stay tight on a block wall? Looks super, a pity to dirty them!

Have to drill all the way through and use threaded bar and plated on the far side. Even at that they might loosen. Alot of pressure on cubicles especially if big sucklers.

We found calves used go in and get stuck in them! Pulled them all out as they were getting loose and dangerous. Cattle will pull a lot of the crap down onto slats without the cubicles.

Not really guntering now is it, looks like installation of new plastic cubicles......

Believe me there was a lot of Guttering to get threaded bars lined up with wrong size drills bits and the ould fellow asking the odd daft question.

Oul fellas can be a pain. I give a lad a hand doing work from time to time and he times the jobs so that his father is away. He'd wreck your head. Knows it all but wouldn't pick up a hammer for ya. Himself and the son often have full blown arguments while stuck at a job. It goes from guntering to precision engineering when he's around.

No problems when cows put it under a bit of pressure?

Any joy with these? I bought some from eBay recently barely could even strike an arc with them!

Not yet but hopefully in the next week ... they got side tracked with work and silly season... 😀

No hassle at all.. to be fair the two gates are just two heavy field gates cows don't really go looking for the calves as calves only go back there to lie down..

Did a bit of guntering /weld/fabrication today. Nearly finished Need to fit a Wear plate on bottom weld close the box end and a Coat of paint

Great job! Bandsaw, cut off saw, or power hacksaw? Great square cuts anyway.

A bit of guntering got the holes cut out for me . Marked hole for bushion and cut it with mini grinder and skinny disc . Nicked several cuts around circumference of circle and hit out the piece with a hammer . Tapped bushion through with hammer as holes were a nice snug fit . Welder closed up the cuts from the mini disc

Yeah it's easy to get the good edges with a grinder when you take your time marking out the material and cut carefully

Des Bishop watch out, there's a new act in town that'll blow you out of the water.

I asked a civil question, if you didn't want to give a civil answer then you should have kept your smart alec comment to yourself.

Did you try refreshing the page? It happens me sometimes too if the download speed drops.

Are you viewing on a mobile contrary? Sometimes photos don't show on mine.

That done the trick. I should've thought of that myself
