I second this. i went for the most basic compact model they do. Made a couple of little adjustments but it is grand. The hurdles are rather heavy but very strong and a good height. After sales service is also good

I’ve used one a few years ago. I borrowed it off a mate to work with some ewes on a outlying block. It is well made stuff. Not as easy to handle / move the hurdles as with a prattley etc. But if you were in a semi permanent situation it would be grand !

I’ve had poldenvale for thirty years , that’s why I’m strong and pens are still excellent after 30 years and were secondhand then lolI've got /had/used a Scotpen, Polden Vale, Alligator, Pratley----all very good
Scotpen---Pro -strong, versatile (no worries with sun on hurdles even here in the scorching south)
Con ---heavy at the end of a long day when it comes to packing up
Polden Vale ----great, strong system BUT very heavy
Pratley/Rappa ---Pros ---light, versatile, easy to set up
Cons--- not as strong as Scotpen , sheep jump hurdles easier
But they are all good ---Tim's Top Tip ---get one with a weigh system & EID reader

It depends what you are looking for, O bought one in 2019 with 23 6ft hurdles for £3784. He does one with an integrated digital weighbridge I think is around £1000 extra
