Anyone have a favorite on gates and corral panels?  I am not talking about anything from a place like TSC or a gate man but the welded pipe or tubing variety.  I only need about 15 panels and 5 12' gates and have tried a few of the manufacturers but they are not doing much business so delivery is an unknown at this point.

I've come to hate Sioux made gates. Seems the hinges always twist and the gate drops on you while opening.

We love our Riverode gates.  They are heavy duty gates that you just can't tear up!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

I really wanted the Linn gates but they do not know when they are coming to Illinois.  So perhaps my post should be is anyone looking to add gates or panels so that we can share freight?!

Since your in Illinois Riverode would be my choice to save on freight and they are almsot bullet proof. I say almost because I now have 2 with bullet holse in them from shooting groundhogs in the working barn.

LOL Dero!!  I will make a mental note not to try to shoot anything around the gates...  Did you get your groundhogs?

Anyone used any of the round bale feeders that are suppose to be great hay savers?  The one I looked at square with a basket like in the center with a floor and they are about 1,000.00.  I really hate feeding the round bales but I do not see that changing anytime soon and thought if I can save any hay it might be worth it.

Do you have a link to the bale feeder?

we use the Sioux City cone feeders and they do a better job than just a round feeder. I think I paid about $600 plus I had them shipped from Iowa to WA for about another $300 for 3 of them

We just built corrals this summer and used Linn, love them, but we live close. They make very heavy duty gates and they are heavy. I wish I would have gotten something lighter for the longer gates. Just my preference.
