Feed barriers

[Jez]

I used some of this wire mesh to build some feed barries.

Cheap and easy to do once you get the hang of it.

First of all, cut two rows off then put a set of pliers at each end, one set on the top row and one on the bottom.

Like this:

Then pull them apart carefully and it will give you the angle slots for the cattle's heads.

Square off the ends and attach to a piece of wood:

Of course you could use any wood you have or just  leave the bottom oart open with the wire sections.

Quick, simple but very effective  ;)

I suppose you could have straight bars aswell  \ \

very nice Jez ;D

1 question, and it may be due to the 2 pints of fresh cider at the show i had but shouldnt the pliers be the other way round for pulling?, left on bottom and right ones on top....or you have to push :

Brilliant idea  Who would ever know.

Here are some pics next to the 5820 and also next to the britains water trough and a piece of stone walling.

If I could find a cow I would put one next to it.

Or someone could post up the height of ones head for me and i'll check??

Very cool. I made wooden ones for my display but I think the wire mesh would look even better.
