[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 661355, member: 9219"] I did a thorough search of this forum before choosing to post a new topic - and I have read everything, but it seemed more questions than answer before so maybe we have some answers now. - here we go. I am going to buy a portable corral and I want opinions on them. I am looking for input from anyone has one, has used one, or has thought about it and decided against it. I decided portable b/c of how low we are at or a few feet above sea level & very wet, and how close to the ocean and the hurricane problems we have. My neighbor had an incredible set of permanent corrals that I could use until hurricane IKE destroyed it - and I along with almost all my neighbors are going to go portable b/c its just not worth losing them when a storm comes, and its very nice to have a set when you need to get them out of a storms way quickly. I have researched them pretty well and I have found there are only a few brands - Titan West - Ok Corral - GO Bob Wilson & W-W (I think they are the same) Rawhide those are the ones I could find. I am leaning pretty heavily towards the Rawhide for its diversity, and the working alley. They are all 14ga steel, and their construction all seem to be pretty similar. The biggest thing for me is I intend to use it as my only corral - so I need the working area, and I am pretty sure I am going to just chain a squeeze/head gate to the exit. They all have their good/bad points, but I want to see what others think. I also strongly prefer the ability to travel at highway speed with them. Any opinions, comments, etc? [/QUOTE]
