[QUOTE="flaboy?, post: 372564, member: 5749"] I think depends on your area. I guess the folks in Texas have access to old drill rod or something like that. Down here steel of any kind is like gold. In my squeeze lane I used full thickness deck boards 1x6 on the sides. The first 10-15 feet into this is 2x6's. They are spaced no more than 6 inches apart. They are all pressure treated. These boards were placed over the wire cattle panels so even if a board breaks they are still trapped. The outside perimeter I need to rebuild after many years. Right now it only has the 16 foot wire cattle panels around it. I need to replace some posts and then put about three boards all the way around the inside. It used to be all rough cut cypress boards but they finally gave up and put up the wire panels. Oh, and last 8 feet before going into the squeeze chute has 3/4 pressure treated plywood from the ground up 2 feet to keep them from sticking the legs through or under it. [/QUOTE]
