How Far Down Should Feed Barrier Uprights Go?

mikefoxo · 2016-01-21 22:37:14

Planning on concreting out an old hayshed and I want to put in a feed barrier. I have it cleared out ready to put in hardcore, but the thought has only just occurred to me about the uprights. How deep would people recommend? I want them to be removable too, so I can just lift them out easily. And would you go for H beams…

He go with rsjs as the tubular uprights will got out alot quicker.
A foot and a half deep anyway maybe more if the concrete around them is soft. What will be feeding against them?
