Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	How handy are you? We just made 2 hitching rails from 6" pipe, but we have all the goodies to cut, weld, and an auger to dig holes...

Maybe Someday Posts: 4551	Have a handy husband Not sure if he's got time to weld oneI can get stout posts from TSCWas thinking to set a large 10"-12" in concreteAnd then a wall in front or behind it to prevent him from pacing as much.Not sure what to use to tie to, a lag bolt through the top at above eye level or tie directly to postThought some of y'all may have better ideas

	You can make a pole very easily and cheap .. Match 2 pipe sizes that fit inside each other firmly .. but will rotate easily Cut a 2 inch ring off of the larger pipe to weld on smaller diameter pipe .. use a diamond bladed saw for smooth cut Concrete larger pipe deep into the ground ... and 7-8 ft high Smaller diameter pipe cut into 2 pieces ... One piece 3 ft long weld at the top edge of the 2 inch ring from large pipe 2 inches from one end of this smaller pipe (this is going to act as a bearing) one piece 2 ft long now weld this one equally across the end of pipe with the ring on it .. and blow holes in ends for a chain or lead rope to fit in This piece of pipe should look like a "T" Hook lead ropes or chain to hook lead ropes to thru the holes .. Slide small pipe into large pipe you are finished .. This pole should look now look like a T .. with two lead ropes hanging down You now have you a good solid pole for $50 cost of material Build two and sell one for $150 .. It is designed for two horses .. if you put a panel or 5 ft pipe each side of pole to keep one horse on one side and horse 2 on the other side .. Use an empty paper towel spool for main pole 2 toilet paper spools taped together to form a T now stick T into top of paper towel holder . Now go build the pipe pole ... ....
