plans for soil screener

[jzr756]

Hello Avmcane
I'm in the process of building a rock sifter patterned after yours. In looking at the pictures you posted I cant really see how you attached your 9ga. fencing material to your framing .Can you go into a little more detail into how you went about it? I purchased a box of 1 1/4x22ga. metal strapping,(the type they use in residential framing to tie structural members together) I posted a couple of pictures of how far I've progressed but I'm trying to figure out the best or strongest way to attach the fencing material.

Hello AVMCANE
JUst wanted to add that in the pictures I posted,I only have the two shorter front legs attached to the framing .They are cut at a 45 degree angle, I've yet to install the hind legs which would position the main frame at 45 degrees

This is the tractor I'll be using to load and screen approx. 10 yards of rock and dirt

The scrap yard I frequent sometimes has chain link fence, gates, quarry screens, etc.
For small amounts of soil like a garden a chain link gate propped at angle up between trees or posts might work.

Depending on how involved/heavy use you need, here's an older thread
