[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1733641, member: 39695"] We bought an eleven acre homestead last fall. It's less than a quarter mile from my main farm, and has enough concrete for a 75hd feed lot. I'm converting the lean to on the corn crib into a permanent working facility. Already had the chute, a crowd tub and scale will come eventually. I needed an alley. I priced around. One company had a used pdr river 20' alley for $2,200. So I scrounged through what I had laying around from other projects, fired up the welder, and here's what I came up with.[ATTACH type="full"]13372[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13373[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13374[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13376[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13377[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13378[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]13379[/ATTACH]I'll build a sliding door on the back, I just have to get back to the junk yard for more box steel. The bows are 2x2x1/4" box. The alley is two seven rail and two six rail continues fence panels from GoBob. I had to buy the 5/8" ply wood. $309 ouch! The best I can figure I have $1,061 in materials, about five half days welding and assembling. My nine year old son helped me put the ply wood on. So that was a quality time bonus. [/QUOTE]
