[QUOTE="7greenhorn, post: 958865, member: 19447"] Yah I was worried about that but I'm going to try and put one of those spring loaded wheels to hopefully offset most of the weight on the post. Our cedar posts are 8 ft long so they should be more than tall enough for a header. Hopefully we won't have to with the support on the end of the gate. I wish I could do metal 1982vet but I just priced out a few with the tub alone and they're around $3500-$3700 :shock: Is that the average? I don't think I can afford that as of right now. Maybe later down the road but that's a huge price difference when I can build it out of plywood and posts for probably around $500. Wish they were cheaper because the Hi-Hog funnel ones looked really nice. Any suggestions for me to check out that might be more affordable? Never did get a quote on the Hi-Hog one I just assumed it's in the ballpark range of the others I saw prices on..... On second thought I just looked at Powder River and I might be able to afford them. I found an advertised price online for around $1700 for 20'. Pretty excited if it's actually 1700 for the whole tub with the gate and everything. Please if anyone knows of anything as affordable or cheaper let me know. Was hoping to break ground on Monday but I'm drooling a bit for a metal tub :D It'd be alot less tedious work/setup if I just had the metal I bet. Gonna be trying to beat the cold weather too :x Hey backhoeboogie! I'm not sure I would really benefit from the medina gate. Seems like it's more for longhorns?
