[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 519034, member: 7795"] Used to buy the 8' square tube rings. I would redo all of the welding plus weld all sides that were not welded before before I ever put a bale of hay in them. As they start to fail I use pieces of old rings that are beyond repair and bridge across the problem areas. Before I started doing all the extras, they were lasting only about a year and a half. Can get another year or two out of them if I can keep them repaired. Made a couple out of 1" and 3/4" rebar three years ago. This one was made for a 4x5 bale but if you stand a 5x5 on end it will slide over it. It needs to be a little bigger for larger bales. Took about $60 in materials and about 3-4 hrs. fabrication. [ATTACH type="full" alt="rebarhayring.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] This is one of the polyhayrings made out of plactic pipe. Bought it last March. Cost about $250. It is bolted together with stainless steel bolts. [ATTACH type="full" alt="polyhayring.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
