Subject: Our new pallisade

I am super happy to announce that we have FINALLY compleated our new pallisade. It is a welded immovable monster, but the design could easily be adapted for bolts instead of welds. Will post some pics on my site in the (hopefully:) near future. After buying too much of not perfect materials, we learned that any good welding shop can make the peices for the "legs" for not very expensive ~ 60 bucks. Ask for them to make a peice called a "channel" that will accept 2by4s ( or the smaller wood if you prefer) They willl bend a flat peice that then looks like a "U" and the rest is not so hard. I like the "channel" legs because it is very stable and should never need to be redone. As far as a portable design, I would reccomend that you bolt at the feet, the ramp to leg connection and the and the ramp to feet connection. We put ours together in a few hours. It would have been less time if we had let the real welder do all the work, but we were interested in learning/trying to weld ourselves. Btw, welding is a LOT more difficult than I had thought it would be. Unless you have too much time and money, I would say just let a pro do the welding.....
We are in N. California right off the I-5 and welcome folks on their way up or down the coast to come check out our "temp" field.
