[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1056840, member: 18945"] I used the portable tube panels, chain together. I don't keep any wild ones, so it's good enough for what I do. Pretty easy to reconfigure in case your original design doesn't do what you hoped for--which mine did not. After changing it 2-3 times I think I have it workable now and will put down cross ties and other posts to hold everything in place. And need to add 2 blocking gates--one at the end of the load chute and one just before the sorting gate. Only real bad thing about those tube panels is making everything come together without cutting any of them. I ended up with one little dead area between the sweep alley and the load chute because I didn't want to cut or bend any panels. If I can get up high enough tomorrow, I'll take a picture of it. The wing fence worked real good when we were penning to wean bull calves a couple weeks ago.

Said he could never get it tight enough not to give when they got excited. [/QUOTE]
