[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 802697, member: 3162"] Congratulations on getting the pipe. You're fortuneate. You did not say what size the pipe is. Most of the folks in this forum talk in outside diameter size. e.g. 2 inch pipe is 2 3/8 inch O.D. so they call it 2 3/8. They refer to 2 1/2 as 2 7/8 etc etc. I would not put a bottom pipe any lower than 12 inches off of the ground personally. I foot spacing from there up shold hold anything. Don't know what type of cattle you are dealing with but I have seen tiny cows go over 6 foot fence. If you are dealing with relatively docile cattle, 6 foot should be good. My portable working pens are only 5 foot 6 inches tall and they hold all of mine just fine. If one ever went over the top, I'd haul her to the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
