[QUOTE="mar, post: 7551706, member: 9032"] I have a shed that is 13ft wide and 48ft long. I want to divide it up into 3 calving ens. The pens will not be to calve the cow in, only somewhere to keep the cow and calf for a few days after calving. The pens are going to be 16ft long and 9ft wide with a 4ft wide feed passage up along the wall on the left in the first picture. The shed will be closed up more, I'm putting yorkshire boarding on it at the minute. I want to hang the gates without cutting a hole in the floor and putting in a post. I have attached drawings showing the gates coloured blue. I was thinking of making some sort of frame around the outside and bolt it to the upright posts. I have shown the frame in red in the drawings, something similar to that in the last photo. Has anyone any ideas how you would make the frame and what size steel you would use or any other ideas how you would do it or photos of something you done yourself.
