First outing tonight. Bent one already.
PVC Dairy cladding is good stuff too, the light blue sheets you see on shearing trailers, light and durable.I'll look that up as that was my main concern about using stock board.
Did one come bent already then?

I have Stokboard around my cattle race, held on with plastic cable ties. I was going to use stainless, but then found out that was a no-no on galv steel hurdles because of corrosion issues.I use a polystone/carbonate sheet on my races. I've found stokboard warps in the heat and can pop tek screws or rivets off over time. This other stuff doesn't, it allows you to go thinner as well.
That’s shocking!
Next time you pen them, make sure the bend bows into the pen, and they will straighten it out again!!
That’s shocking!
I’ve seen my Rappa race panels bent much further than that and I’ve always cringed what it will look like when the stock release the pressure on it but they’ve always been fine
Is that allied weighing load bars and sorry if you already know this but don’t bolt the load bars feet down tight. They need a bit of give. That’s why the likes of TruTest have rubber feet if they are bolted down.
10 times more likely for the lamb in the crush to push back rather than the next lamb to push forward.I can't stand crates where the gate opens back into the flow of stock.
Didn't know which way to put the back one. As it stands ones coming from behind can't push it open, but a sheep on the crate can back up and open it but I will put a latch on the handle to stop that.
