Get your metal from Belton Pipe. Much cheaper. What makes you want 5x 20? You figure seems low for that much mud.

if you use crushed concrete and wet it down and compact it its almost as good and might save you some money.

Mud will be cheaper around here in Central Texas. I use iron horse. 60-70/yard. 3 yard min. |

Man concrete for 70 dollars a yard is cheap. You can't get it for less than 100 up here in northeast Texas.

Hey Mike, good to hear from you. The 5 x 20 is in case I use 10 ft. Panels. Debose has 5.5 x 10 with 4x4 . Yea Belton pipe is who I called I use them a lot . BTW catching any. We were doing good at the ranch. Then went to a corn field. Man they handed it to us.

THey cost a little more, but use 2" X 4" panels on at least a couple of the pens. Pups can get through the 4" squares, and grouchy dogs can get a hold of one another through them as well. I've had both, and just don't prefer the 4"X4".
