"J" Iron Rails Used To Make Corrals
 ✖  |
Along with being a dairy and beef farmer, I also work at the local steel factory. I bought some slightly defective "J" iron rails used for suspensions on semi trucks. These 16-ft. lengths of rail can be easily formed together to make large corrals. I drive shorter pieces of rail 3 1/2 ft. into the ground about 8 ft. apart. I use four rails per section, which allows the fence to be 5 1/2 ft. high. Because of the holes in the "J" iron, it is easy to mount gates and other equipment. The best part is that it is all salvaged material and cost me cents on the dollar. (Jim Horn, 379 Gentry Rd., Seymour, Mo. 65746)
