Please clarify the configuration of the panels desired to be installed. What gauge of wire is desired, as a 16’ “panel” could be cut from relatively light-weight fence material? These are 2”X4”, 4 gauge Security Panels that are 60 inches in height by 16 feet in length.

Is it the intent that the new enclosures be 16’ x 16’? The drawings and specifications refer to “square or rectangular” enclosures. Please define the dimensions of the enclosure, so material can accurately be calculated. It will all depend on the site and how many willows that will be placed within the enclosures, but most will be rectangular.

The buck and pole specifications call for 8” minimum diameter for the buck legs. Most buck and pole fences use a 5” minimum diameter. Is the significantly larger 8” material required? Minimum diameter is 6 inches.

The buck and pole specifications call for 3-4 rails. Please specify the number of rails desired. It is 4 rails.

Please specify spacing for the bucks or length of rails desired. It is a 12 foot rail with bucks every 10 feet.
