[QUOTE="novatech, post: 783115, member: 5494"] I'm with dun on this. A shop can put a curve in angle or pipe in a short amount of time if they have the machine. The plus is that it ends up looking a bit more professional than re-bar. Manure will make it rust faster but the fact that it takes a long time to dry out is the main issue. Any water that got behind the cove will take months to dry. Urine is probably worse. Moisture ( manure tea, urine, water) gets traped between the wood and metal frame. Your best bet is to coat metal that will be covered by wood with lots of paint or anything else that will protect the metal. [/QUOTE]
