[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 958553, member: 7795"] Only thing I can think of that hasn't been addressed. Remembering you said you were building with cedar post...gate sag. Can you find cedar post tall enough so you can header across to help maintain distances for your gate swings? If anyway possible, find a way to build the crowing and chute areas out of metal...the rest will be OK built out of wood. For along time my catch areas were built out of the wire cattle panels wire tied to t-post...until my bulls began pushing through in order to play "king of the mountain". Then I went to 6" treated post on 6'6" centers, 3 runs of 20' 2x6s and nailed the cattle panels on with 2" fence staples. Still a bit costly but not like all metal. [/QUOTE]
