Eyelets...

 

[polk_farmer]

Just buy new hurdles... so much easier.

Took delivery of a pack (25) yesterday. The A&E shed is looking good today

 

[Gulli]

Mine are all sorts of hurdles from farm sales. Mostly calf pens. All different lengths so none of the pens match up

Useful the rest of the year as well for loading etc. Which bits of plywood arent...

 

[Nithsdale]

Farm sales are the most expensive place on earth to buy hurdles!

Brand new gally 4ft £15.50, 5ft £17 and 6ft £17.50. Delivered.
Prices are if you take a pack of 25. Prices from Smith's Fencing, Kirkcudbright.

Haven't bought any for a couple of years. It's usually the lightweight painted ones that make more than new galv prices
I go to a lot of sales so I always have a go at them. Paid £16 for a pile of about 8 plus fronts last time. Rusty and a couple slightly bent but still do a job

 

[Nithsdale]

Fair play. It's crappy lightweight painted ones I'm replacing...

Give them their dues - dad would buy them 20-25 years ago. Some lugs are long gone, some have a broken bottom bar... but used solely as lambing pens they've lasted very well.

Send them down I'll weld them back up for you

wooden hurdles are cheap! and easy!
If you value your time its a waste of time making them unless the wood is free and joinery is a hobby

I have phoned ricks this morning and the cheapest they would do the hay racks for was £11 at a push, and that was because I had bought a fair few hurdles from them.
