[QUOTE="Bambi_terror, post: 258819, member: 4392"] I would like to thank you all who have responded to my earlier post. I did a search on this site and came up with a 52 inch height for a pasture fence but not much on above topic. I will be fencing a small section for a corral with some highway guard rails and wanted to know what height, spacing is required to make sure that it will be escape proof. This is going to be a small corral that I will put any new cattle or cattle that need to be worked and not worry about escapes. Otherwise the rest of the pasture will be high tension with electric charger. I am just not sure if two guard rails (my plan) will be adequate and would appreciate any input of those that do use guard rails in their set up as to the height, spacing, and number of guard rails required. I believe the peices that I have are about 12 inches wide by 13 1/2 feet long but not 100% sure on width. By the way, the plan is to lag these to the inside face of railroad ties except for one section that faces the road. I think that I will drill through the railroad ties and bolt the guard rail on the outside edge. Bad area since I have had two cars miss making the curve and drive into my yard in less than two years so far. I think this section would hold up better if another driver loses control and runs into the guard rail if they are mounted on the outside face of the railroad ties. Thank you in advance for your responses. [/QUOTE]
