    Dragging up an old thread...


    Looks like @renandstimpy doesn't be on here much now. Are they gone or reincarnated with a new username?

    Getting mine done at the moment and thinking about upgrading an old one. Seen this and thought it was a lovely design that could fit into the old one.

    Not sure if I'd need the curved gates, but I guess price would have increased a lot since then.

    My advive, don't over think it, i changed the design of my one serveral times as i was putting it up, you'll never catch everything first time.

    There will always be a few bits you'd do different.

    Having said all that i seen a video on youtube last week where a pin was divided up with a sliding gate and a fixed barrier, makes it handy to let cattle through instead of opening a normal gate out into cattle. That's something i wish i had done, did'nt see the video in time though!

    I've already changed the one I'm at currently a few times. Overall scheme is the same, just some small tweaks and repositioning of posts when seen in flesh.

    To finish it off you need a section for loading cattle - say extend out where main gate is. Will allow a trailer to reverse in & then allow for a gate to swing behind to force cattle with an exit point for safety. Having done a good (low cost) job on the rest this will complete it.

    The OP has used his curved area for loading - very nicely thought out using the internal gates to force the stock meaning they have nowhere to go but onto the trailer.
