VERY NICE!

I used a bunch of free stuff but, it is heavy.  Great use of materials.  Congrats

Great design thumbsup.gif

I think I'll try this with aluminum legs for the wheels.

Maybe 2 smaller pens since my terrain is not too flat.

I've been looking online and can't find Aluminum fence posts?  I found the correct dia in steel.  Do you have any info for purchase or manufacture?

Thanks

Aluminum will be expensive. I get my scraps from a local metal recycle place. Still not cheap there.

 

Edit - Oops, I just realized this post is called "Aluminum" style pen. LoL

 

But I think a lot of the material that randyandmags used are galvanized steel.

Would anyone be able to email me a list of materials and price list?  I think this would be a great project for this weekend.  (David.Mosher@horacemann.com) Thanks!
