Re: [RC] pipe panels as stalls in barn - Karen SullivanMy original barn had two stalls separated by a pipe panel....so far it has worked quite well with no problems The pipe has to be heavy enough gague to withstand kicks. The barn is 11 years old and no dents or bends to that panel that separated the stall. It is the same thickness as the support structures for the barn (pipe barn, heavy treated plywood exterior and stall fronts. I do like it for air flow and no maintenance... It may also depend on how well behaved your horses are....I have not seen any fighting over that divider. In comparison, the pipe panels I bought to make paddocks and pasture fence (which were being sold as HORSE panels), and gotten bent in quite a few places...which is annoying. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ridecamp Guest" <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 1:45 PM Subject: [RC] pipe panels as stalls in barn Please Reply to: Faith Bongiorno fmbong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hello all, I am lurker who enjoys the experience you all share on ridecamp, as a newbie to endurance just reading other people adventures provides me with some great ideas and information and the occasional daily laugh! The reason I am writting today is my mother-in-law and I are looking to build a barn on our property. We are debating back and forth over the use of pipe panels. The outer shell of the barn is going to to be log like their house, but she wants to use pipe panels as the stall dividers, I have reservation about this so I am trying to find information on the pros/cons of pipe panels versus tradtional box stalls. Her main reason is not money but air movement since we live area of the south that has high humidity! The horses would only be in there to eat and for bad weather. Any experieces, suggestion, or comments would be greatly appreciated. Faith B. SE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
