[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1782637, member: 39018"] When I built it, I figured I'd just line the lane with first a panel on the inside (where there's no gates to let critters out the sides), then another along the outside if necessary. They'd go inside of the guard rails, so one on each side would leave the lane only 16" wide, all the way up (if installed straight vertical on the panel, but tight against the guard rails at the bottom... they could be installed in a "V" too, if you wanted to). So far, I haven't seen any situation where I've needed them at all, but it would be an easy, cheap fix. My original design WAS going to be adjustable, possibly even hydraulically adjusted, and [U]I THOUGHT that I needed it to be[/U]... in fact it was one of those "have to have" details for me, and I spent alot of time designing how I would do it. Cost to accomplish primarily, and then complication of the system was what changed my mind. Very glad I made that change. The KISS program! As it was, I was up against a very tight deadline to get the thing done... in fact, I was up until midnight the night before we needed to be using it cutting the floorboards, and then I still had to go to town in the morning to get the screws and a driver bit to put them in! I screwed down the floor when I got home, put the wheels on and hauled the thing out to the pasture and set it in place, we set up the corral panels, and by 1:00 the vet showed up and we were running 160 head of cattle through!
