catch pen plans

[Brookman]

Before we set our head gate in concrete, where can we look(online or extension bulletins?) before doing something stupid, and "wish we hadn't done that" hindsight? Maybe some of you could describe a good easy working situation you have, pics would even be better! :shock: Love those pics.

We have a wood barn to build next to, but what about dimensions for 10 pairs, say, width of the alley, etc. How wide should our gates be?

I'm watching for examples as we're out driving, seen some good set-ups, but "on the fly"so to speak. SO much appreciated, folks
