I will during the week, but it is in 2 pieces at the minute. Bullock decided to jump it and didn't quite make it :mad:

Here is a pic of the feeder. One end is broken out of it due to the bullock.

Is it 6metres above ground level?
Is it 1 metre above any roof within 20metres?

Probably will take 10 months for the Electricity meter to stop spinning if you did that much

Fine Job. Will you be able to clean them out with the tractor?

A mini digger is the right job for cleaning pens like that. Start at the inside wall pen, pull out into the passage, leave it in a row and then take away with the silage grab when you have them all pulled out. throw someone local that has a 3 tonner a crispy 50 some day he is passing your yard.
The passage doesent look wide enough for a 3cx or a 50b?

I'm looking at making two sets of gates does anyone know where I could buy the spikes, arrows, scrolls etc to weld onto them ?

I live in Drogheda co.Louth so somewhere nearby or north side of Dublin.

I remember getting a catalogue once with all those cast iron decorative pieces. UK based, but shipping didn't seem too bad. Squirrel Products, I think. Squirrel something or other anyway. I'd say they all came from China .

Actually, a quick google for "wrought Iron" threw up these guys at Naas.

I had thought about using "Fingers" off a finger bar mower for the top spikes of a gate for the entrance to the house, but wifey boycotted the idea........:{

They'd be a great job if you sharpened them.;-)
