[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 715660, member: 7509"] Note if you are considering using highway guard rail - your life will be MUCH simpler if you put your posts in to match standard Highway guard rail hole spacing which is 6'-3" or 12'-6". In high stress areas such as around a waterer where there may be a lot of cattle pushing on each other I would uses 6'-3". In most areas with guard rail you can put posts 12'-6" and it will be plenty strong. Real highway guard rail and RR tie posts is a wonderful long term cattle facility. With RR tie posts 12'-6" apart it may come out cost wise similar to putting other posts at 8 ft. Good luck. If you are going to use Guard Rail here is a very useful dimension sheet form Southern Guardrail Mfg Co in TN. [url]http://www.southernguardrail.com/images/w_beam_specs.gif[/url] Jim [/QUOTE]
