I saw a chicken coop build on Haxman’s channel where he ripped strips of that black plastic landscape edging and then glued and stapled them to the underside of the skids to help them slide along the ground easier.

You could also use 4” pvc and drill holes in the top to put the ends of the cattle fence into. Then connect all 4 corners with elbows. Much lighter but you’d have to stake it down.

Yeah, drill press and Forstner bit or you could even use a spade bit with either drill press or drill. Make sure to use a light colored tarp or you may end up with a portable "animal oven". Thanks Austin!!

Austin, I've used something similar for a mare and her foal when they were the only ones. Once the other mares foaled out, within 2 weeks of the first to the last, they were moved into a field that had a 3 sided structure that could accommodate everyone with no fights between the mates. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

I'd suggest using a cattle panel across the rear, which will act as bracing and reduce the chance that wind will flatten it.

The next time you have to do this and don’t want to lift an enormous (and incredibly heavy) beam up to a drill press you may (or may not) have, I would cheat. Put the beam up on a table or sawhorses aligned so you’re going to drill horizontally. Grab a piece of string and tie a washer on each end. Hang the string by one of the washers on the drill bit when you put it in the drill. Now look down from above on the drill bit as you move. This allows you to keep it straight from a left/right perspective. And as you drill if the washer/string doohickey moves forward then you’re angled down. If it moves back then you’re angled up. Keep the washer from “walking” and you’ll have a level hole. Then if you have to drill the second half from the other side it should meet pretty well. Also, that allthread must be crazy expensive and heavy. If you used a lap joint to attach either 2x4s or 4x4s you could have a strong joint that would help protect even the weaker 2x4 and give you a cheaper option. Plus, a 2x4 or 4x4 in the back would help you build any back wall you wanted. I mean, I know I’m 2 years late to the party on this video, but maybe these tips will help someone at some point.

Suggestion on the back wall. you'd made the suggestion about using plywood, but the weight might be an issue. It might be possible to put another piece of fencing up there, an just use bolt cutters to make it the follow the angle of the arch. It would at least be lighter.

I think having tarp in the back would depend on where you live. In Texas, I think it would be better to have it open so there is better ventilation. I'm thinking doing 3 cattle panels for cows too. Adding 10 or 12 inch diameter wheels would make it easier to pull. It's very similar to a chicken tractor I'm building. I didn't think about using this for a cattle shade. Thank you.

Tried it with goats didn't work out well. They jumped on the sides and collapsed the whole thing. It was like a fun playground to them. They would do it when other goats were inside. One of them got their heads stuck in the cattle panel. After that I scraped this idea.

the fostner bit is self drilling do not pilot them, if the bit don't pull itself in get a new one , but make sure the tip is clean. Those can break your wrist if not holding good.

Wont the metal rods pose a hazard to a larger animal like a cow that may not see them because of the grass? I would think that building a structure with three sides and maybe a piece of paneling across the top would be sturdy without the rods. Could probably do most of it using PVC so that it is light weight. (Except maybe the back bottom piece which I would just use a 3rd piece of wood or rigid conduit.
