[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 946808, member: 14661"] I use nails and 2x6's on my corrals. lumber costs will vary by region but for me it was alot cheaper to go with 2x6. I use nails so that when (not if but when) I have a blowout I can easily tack everything back together same day. Like hook said, the boards need to go on the side that gets the pressure. Anywhere that gets pressure from both sides gets at least two bumper boards on one side of the tie and the full four on the other side. Example: My sorting lane runs along the back of two larger pens so there are four boards on the inside of the lane but on the pen side of the same fence there are only the two middle boards so that the cattle are always pressing against a board with a tie behind it and never just a board.
