[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1600674, member: 498"] I just finished one section of my pole corral rebuild. That is 54 poles down and 200+ to go. It is 5.5 to 6 foot tall and stout enough that they won't be running through it. I am into the poles $1 each. I am using about two thirds the existing RR tie and a third new ones. The 9 foot ties cost me $18 each. Lag bolts are about 50 cents. This approximately 100 foot cost $162. In the background you can see the loafing shed I rebuilt. It is 36x10. The entire roof and about 25% of the walls were gone. Using mostly used material I rebuilt it for less than $200. It is not real pretty but it will keep the rain and snow off calves back. The other picture is of the corral fence that I haven't got to yet. Sort of obvious why I am rebuilding. The previous owner would just wire a mesh panel over any holes when the poles rotted, broke, or just fell off. Actual repair and maintenance were not his strong suit. He told me that when he bought the place 8 years ago the corral needed to be rebuilt but he just never got around to doing it.
