Title: silo?????
Post by: 3Whoghunter on November 25, 2011, 12:48:08 am
I was given a Purty good size silo and was wondering if it would be possible to turn into a bay pen I have ideas for it but really don't know how well it would work. If anyone out there has ever seen one or heard of one or has pics of one id really appreciate the ideas and feedback y'all may have

I am guessing its a steel one that bolts together, sounds like it would work great if you used one ring for the base and bolted some tall 4x4 pannels around it to keep big pigs from jumping out, the dogs go go around and around barking while looking at the hog if the ring is not too tall, is it already down or do you have to unbolt it??  You could add some trap gates to it as well and make traps too

Ill have to take it down. I was going to leave the top on it with 2/3 fans in it with lights. Have holding pens on the outside and where the door is build a area to stand and have a gate to get dogs in and out

Take it to the scrap yard and should be able to buy the materials for a great pen.
