Tools required for building the base
Welder
Welding hood
Gloves
Grinder
Cutoff wheels
Speed square
Tape measure
Marker
Level
Materials
2x-2” weld on henges. I used “barrel henges”
1x- spring loaded latch
2”x2”1/8” angle iron
1”x1”x1/8” angle iron
2”x4” horse panel they vary in height and length so whatever you find available to you. Tractor supply sales the panels also.
Material cut list
2”x2”x1/8” Angle;
4x-23 1/2” cut at 45 deg both sides (base for barrel)
4x-27” cut at 22.5 deg one side (legs)
2x-4’ straight cut (skis)
1”x1”x1/8” Angle;(door)
1x- 22 3/4” cut at 35 deg both sides
1x- 31” cut at 55 deg both sides
2x 13” cut at 35 deg on one side and 55deg on the other. (Careful with orientation) if you build the door with say 1”x1” square tubing it is easier not to get these cuts backwards.
Horse panel
1x- 32 1/2”x32 1/2” (bottom of cage)
4x- 32 1/2” x 12” cut at 22.5 deg (sides) (I would recommend cutting it long. Then holding it up to your legs or door then marking it with a sharpie to guarantee a good fit)
