Genius improvements. The bevel will keep it wedged in place.

If you stopped your fence about 4' shy of that gap and had a 4' " wing" welded to that pivoting section it would block animals from trying to pass under it. Kind of like a E sticking out from that pivoting section. Just a thought. Another well designed project by Taylor Welding! I enjoy your videos very much. I've been welding since 1979. Fab shops, construction, oil field high pressure pipe, and now aerospace. You are one of the few youtubers that actually know what you are talking about. Great stuff!

Fantastic job! Don’t understand what keeps calves from going under the wings but still allows one to ride their horse through it but maybe I’m just not thinking about it correctly. You’re 100% correct about your crossmember placement. I put them on 8’ centers. Like everything about it. It’ll more than likely outlast you by a long shot.

Looks like a good build to me. After it been in place for a couple of years go see how it held up. On the road semi are allowed 80,000 lbs. off road it whatever we feel like so eighty thousand pounds maybe just a starting place hauling feed or hay out to cattle.

Here in the UK we call them a "cattle grid". I have repaired quite a few. Back in the 1950's and through to the early 1970's some were made from old railway track which also breaks. I have repaired them with a strip of 4inch by 3/8th (100mm by 10mm) flat bar across the tops and as you rightly say, at the width of a truck so the weight is spread over the bars. The "C" section channel half way up the bar is a good idea too. It keeps the bars in place, stiffens them and keeps the grid quiet. Noisey grids have broken welds! Too allow livestock, horses and walkers safe passage, we usually put a swinging gate at the side of a grid where required. Another good idea is to put in a wildlife ramp. Here in the UK, small mammals (hedgehogs) and even frogs and toads get trapped and die in the well under the bars. Having a ramp at each end internally to help them escape save the life of a wild animal.

I bet railroad iron made a great cattle grid. The problem with the old railroad iron imo is you never know if it’s going to weld good or not. I don’t think they had very good quality control at the foundry back in the early 1900s . They just did the best they could. Thanks for being here JON Dingle. I always like having the seasoned fellas in the comments.

I wish I had seen this video thirty years ago when I built two cattleguards at my ranch. I would not had to clean them out so often and make the repairs that you described. Get info. on placement of I beams for tires . Keep these coming even us old ranchers are learning. Thanks

Great design, same idea and design is great for shaker plates on a construction site entrance/ exit, keeps the dirt localized and throw a sling or chain on it and yank it out of there to muck it out. Round pipe is more gentle on equipment and backs than angle iron on point.

I didn't know the wings were for horses. In my area, the wings are fixed and there is a (usually flimsy bob wire) gate next to it for horses and cattle.

They're for anything that needs to pass by the cattle gap/guard, we use them to move the cows past...though ours aren't fancy like that, just barbed wire looped over a post lol

Hey Chris. Big fan of the channel, I’m 21 and got introduced to stick welding in secondary school. Got certified in mig last December and going to school to get the rest of my fabrication certs in November. I’m wondering if you’ve got any advice on getting into the industry where there’s no real oil and gas work. Most of the work here in Ireland is automotive and agricultural. The plan is to move to Australia and get into the mines or onto a rig but I need some big experience first. Thanks again

I have a question, I'm wanting to start a little welding business in my shed. I'm looking at the titanium flux 125, or the titanium stick 225. Which one should I get or which one can get me the most jobs? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

The one thing I despise is half-assed work. This is most definitely not half-assed. Meant to last for years, and this one will. The little details matter.

You must have never had any timber cut inside of a cattle gap, there is a reason they no longer call them log truck drivers and instead call them steering wheel holders. lol We had some cut 15 years ago and those idiots drove off the side of the cattle gap and it was made from railroad track and was over a 3 foot deep creek. When we built that massive thing 30 or 40 years ago my grandpa insisted we put railroad ties out on the ends (equivalent to his I-beams) because he said somebody one day might drive out on the edge. Man was he right.
