Hello all, I've been given some cost share money to build/re-build a working area. I have enough pipe from a demolition job to build the corral, but what I'm not sure about is how to space the pipe horizontally, and how far apart to space the vertical upright pieces to help tie it together.
My plan was to hold the bottom pipe off the ground 3" or 4", then place the rest of the pipe so that the opening between each pipe is about 7" till I get to 6 feet tall, with vertical uprights about every 10 feet. My cows are commercial (angus / herford cross) cattle.
I've searched, but not really found any info on the recommended spacing of the pipe. In your experience, is a 7" spacing ok all the way up, or should I start tighter and increase the height on the way up? Is 6' tall enough, or should I go higher?
Thank you for looking at my post, and any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
