So I hand made nearly a ton of hay this weekend! Put it on 4 pallets and then it started to rain. Ran around like a headless chicken, gathering tarps, bags, anything waterproof and tossing it onto my precious hay stash!
Today I took out the two 16ft cattle panels on the pony's side of the barn and tied some wood up in hopes to still contain him. That's working for now, but I'll have to go out and buy 2x6in wood to redo for a more permanent fix.
Stuck 6 3ft TPosts on two sides of the pallets and then flopped up the panels, hoping they wouldn't touch the electric fence and zap the heck outta me.
A few bits of reused bailing twine and then tossed on an old painters tarp. Done!
I'll go back out and use wire to secure it after the rain stops and I find the spool of wire....
Anyway! It was so easy! I have no idea why we wasted $300 for a metal shed when for $60, we could of made this! Same size and portable!!
I'm going to make soooo many of them!!!!
It's height is right at 5ft 8in! Perfect height for me to use these for a zillion things!
Would be easy to add a center support if anyone had so much snow that it would be necessary.
They are panels the last property owners discarded and left to rot under the unkept weedy pasture! I found gates to reuse and other random things, too! It's great! Many of the panels I used for the hog pen, so now I have to buy new ones, but still far cheaper than any other type of shed or shelter!! =D
