Hey all,

I've done a few drive by's at Ranchers here this summer and comtemplated taking a few shots, but decided against it and haven't posted for a long time. :)

Anyway, what does everyone have for ideas to build decent low-budget corrals and windbreaks?? I've rounded up a bunch of used railroad ties and just need something to hang on them. Sucker rod can make a good corral and the local dealer gets somewhere close to 50 cents a foot for it so going 5 or 6 high you'll have some over $3/foot by the time you get the clips. Regular tin is about $1/square foot and second quality super steel (heavy, deep-gusseted tin) is going to be about $1.25-$1.60/square foot.

I'm surviving on barbed wire lots and minimal protection right now and need to get some improvements made this fall.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
