thanks for replying on attaching plywood to pipe corral. I have had issues trying to respond to your reply so hope this works. While I have seen a few pics on the internet of a wood panel on a pipe gate or fence I can’t really see how it is attached. I have a large thoroughbred who likes to roll and caught his hind legs in the corral. He pulled his stifle and may or may not recover. His stall has an 18 x 28 attached walk out and I board. So hoping to not spend a ton of money. Would prefer to just attach wood on one side on the inside due to cost if that works. But I also don’t want to attach wood and create a different safefy issue such as if he kicks the bottom and the plywood is just touching the ground does the plywood move and thus his hoof could get caught between the plywood and the dirt ground if he kicked while rollling or lying down. It seems like it would get expensive to add a wood brace to ground. The pipe corral panels do not have a bottom ground rail. The first rail is almost 18 inches or more off the ground. I think the people that installed it did not dig deep enough… And since the dirt ground does get dug a bit by horses on both sides I worry about the horses digging a hole under the bottom of the wood. I have thought about setting the plywood 4 inches or more down in the ground to brace it. But this is starting to seem way more complicated that I was intending this to be as I research option… Thanks for any advice…
