Once you go cattle panels, you’ll never go back! They are wonderful back savers. Keep me posted on your results, if you have time.

I will. We’re going into Waco and I’m going to check out the panels. I think I should get 3/8” rebar for the panel posts? Atwoods have a bunch of 3/8” rebar for just #1.??, hubby said they were probably 2 or 3 feet long. That would be great for the resin panels I’m going to put around my garden shed. I’m doing that so snakes, rats, mice and squirells can’t take up house keeping under there. The resin is going to hold in soil and I’m planting flowers, roses etc around it. It’s an old metal Morgan building so, I’ve got a buddy and we’re going to cut a couple of windows, take out a panel from the roof and replace it with a corragated resin panel. I have a play house and it’s even extended to the outdoors. It’s fun to be retired, even if my raised gardens goes kaflooy when the weather heats up. I’m thinking of “rescuing” water from our roof, but at the moment, don’t know how, as the water spouts run off the berm around the house and drop the water onto the driveway. Right now, I’m busy getting material for our community garden. In the next 2 weeks, I’m going to the Ag Dept at TX A&M for information and laws that cover such things. Being retired is a busy time, but fun. I used to get up around 0530 to be at the ranch when the workers came in. Now I STILL wake up around 0530 or 0600. Get up, make coffee, water the plants, come in have coffee, sometimes do a bit of sewing waiting for Hubby to stir.
