One mistake I made was building it thinking of "level" concrete when my porch floor sloops away form the house , so I could have used little more sloop in my case but still roll forward however...
counting the wheels it is 82" tall off the floor and the water pan shelf is 77" off the floor . My height was ,mainly chosen because that would fit under my back porch roof with a few inches to space (but not enough for another set of pens) the width was chosen because of the pan.

Well I built a small quail tractor I figured I would keep moving it over sections of my pineapple garden but that is turning out more difficult to trim them back then I expected :( my tractor is fairy basic, the base is 2 pt 2x4x16' and it is 4'2" wide cause that's all the can reach to hold the...

I can't image your neighbors will not like the quail calls in...
