Our new pens have quite abit of slope to them. How much is too much slope for the alley and squeeze chute?
Nicky said:Downhill toward the squeeze chute. Also, has anyone made their own adjustable alley out of pipe?

AC Diesel said:Nicky, I built one with my brother last spring in my shop. The main frame is built out of 2 3/8 drill stem and 2 7/8 runners, it is fully adjustable using greasable bushings. He wanted only the bottom portion sheeted so you could give shots through the alley and didn't need a cat walk. It's the best way to build them, because if you get a critter that goes down you can easily pop the bar out that holds it to desired width letting the critter get back up. :wink:
We also built a tub out of drill stem that is darn handy. I'm going to see if he will post some pictures for you .
