Title: Re: lets see your homemade baypens Post by: TX HOG on September 05, 2009, 01:51:27 am for the holding box use 4 pieces of thick plywood, and 4 tee posts, and make drop doors using scrap 2x6s as the guides. make the pen round. 6 ft t-posts every 8 foot and 2ft deep. cattle pannel for the walls. each t-post needs something to hold a 2ft peice of cattle pannel at a 45 degree angle to keep the hogs from jumping out. this design will get beat up a little but it works. i keep a catch dog on stand by.
or the the elcheapo method.... a rope, a tree, and a hog :o Title: Re: lets see your homemade baypens Post by: stoked on September 05, 2009, 02:06:56 am this is a cheap one... t-post and ten..lol..and maybe a few cattle pannel/ hog pannel

It just gonna cost a pretty penny if you buy new stuff. Used panels have been hard to find for me. That's what I would go with, panels and t posts.
Title: Re: lets see your homemade baypens Post by: scout1 on September 05, 2009, 12:13:11 pm I WENT DOWN TO MY ELECTRIC COMPANY COOP. - AND GOT TELEPHONE POLES (FREE) JUST HAD TO CUT THEM TO LENGTH. THATS WHAT MY HORSE ROUNDPEN IS MADE OF - NOW I USE IT FOR A BAYPEN. HEAVY DUTY - PROBABLY HAVE 50 DOLLARS TIED UP IN IT, BUT GUARANTEE YOU IT WILL HOLD A BRONC OR A HOG... HA... IT WAS ALOT OF WORK - BUT LIKE I SAID YOU MIGHT CHECK ON SOME POLES YOU MIGHT LUCK INTO GETTING SOME FOR NEXT TO NOTHING... JUST AN IDEA.
