    For feed barriers, you could use 300x25mm board with a 300mm space to the feed rail and again about 200mm to 300mm to the top rail depending on ewe size. The vertical rails are 50x50, same as the top 2 bars.

    There are more complicated barriers but i cant think of the sizes off the top of my head but i can dig them up if you want.

    This is for feeding silage but there are different barriers for hay you can make yourself too iirc

    Found my old AFT sheep housing and design book again last night:D:D so i will have some fun making stuff next month.

    Sorry no pics. Yet anyway. Tbh i struggle with posting here at times so havent tried putting up pics yet but will try when i have one sorted.

    Was using a round feeder but a bit short of space since numbers went up so will be making one of these again in a square inside the door so i can put in a few blocks and keep a bale of straw handy under cover for sundays
