our budbox continues on into an 'L'
a gate is hung on inside corner of 'L'
If it's shut across the bud box, it makes box 10' shorter
it also latches 90 degrees farther, which makes the box longer and starts crowding cattle into trailer loading. I got them latches that latch from either side, when loading trailers, the little deals that latch are pinned up, you swing gate right thru latch. I'm talking about the 'first' latch, continue swinging and latch on second one to load.
this deal works pretty good, still needs one more man gate--I swore long ago, anyplace I've Ever crawled over the fence gets a gate!
with some cattle, the little bit longer box helps.
I had numbers that said to make alley 10' wide if always on foot, 12 if foot or horse, 14 if mostly horseback
our alley is 12', when we added box on the end we made it 10---due to existing construction.
I think 12' would be better.
we like box better than tub, plus built it with stuff already had around
