[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 933125, member: 16769"] Steve, we currently have panels to put up that came out of a now defunct feedlot, and it sounds much like what you want to build. These panels are built from sucker rod horizontals (3/4" diam.), with heavy 3" top rails, total of 5 rails high at 1 ft. apart, and sinkable 3" diam. steel posts (every 8 feet). If we sink the posts the 3 ft. depth they were at before, we'll still have 5 ft. tall panels. Some of the panels also have (extra) sucker rod welded vertical between the big verticals. The sucker rod against the 3" pipe is welded, and has welded U-shaped holders/reinforcements as well -- there are elongated 3" ends off each of those u-shaped holders that are welded to the heavy pipe. These panels were cut off with 4 ft. tag ends of sucker rod off the end posts (saving material, I guess). There was a thread on here a few months back (mine) about how best to attach those panels to 8 ft. RR ties -- we'll have the RR tie posts, plus the 3 ft. posts on the panels. Granted, the ties won't last 100 years, but neither will we. Here's that thread, from when I asked what the heck to do to mount the panels. There were lots of good/helpful ideas.
