[QUOTE="Andyt880, post: 7167845, member: 25474"] If you make your slats out of 6x2 timber with the timbers all going long ways they won’t need a leg in the middle. I support mine on a baton on the wall and then they sit on the feeders at the other side. It means the pens are only 8ft deep but it suits my shed ok. My shed is only rented so I don’t like anything to permanent. If you do want to make your pens deeper and need to support the slats in the middle, props made out of a piece of 6 inch sewer pipe sitting on its end is a good job. Lift the slats away and the pipe just slides up out of the muck, and it won’t rot. If you put a leg on the slat it makes them harder to lift out as you have to lift the slat up high enough so the leg clears the muck [/QUOTE]
