[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 802858, member: 5381"] I hope you are a good welder and torch man. That is a lot of coping. I built mine with the uprights on 8' centers. I then put a bottom rail about 16" off the ground. The center of the top rail goes 48" above this. I then welded a 52" x 16-0 wire cattle panel over this with the 4" opening in the wire hanging over the bottom rail 4". This leaves a about a 5-5 high fence with 12" under the bottom wire.The wire is welded on about 12" centess and gives it a lot of strength. I have had cows jump onto the top rail to try and go over but since it has no give they can't (so far anyway) get their butt over. The first set of these i built I also put in a center rail but it is not necessary and I left it off the next set except in the chute area. I like this design because nothing sticks their head through but they are easy to climb when you need to get out in a hurry. A lot less welding and painting and the galvanized wire looks good and holds up well. [/QUOTE]
