[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1101256, member: 5381"] Not many in Texas use them or need them but i made one and used that picture as a model. I had a hand rail shop bend 1 1/4 pipe close to that configuration and then wrapped it in used R-panel. I put in a lot of screws. It is on skids so I can drag it around. I also put plates on each corner with a hole in them that I put a T-post through to keep it in place. I put it in the area where I feed hay. Some years it barely gets used. This year some of the calves seem to have taken up permanent residence. The calves go in it while their mothers are eating hay. It keeps them out of harms way and with 10 of them in there it stays real warm. The pipe and bending for mine was about $300. The sheet metal was at no cost but had some holes in it. I spent about 16 hours building it. I am very pleased with it and get a few nice comments from the neighbors but so far, no one else has built one. [/QUOTE]
