I am wanting to build a rock/soil seperator out of some chainlink fence panels I have. A couple years ago I saw several posts that had pictures of ones people had made. What I am thinking about are the ones made with a wooden frame and a screen of some type attachet at an angle. You dump a load of stuff on top and as it slides down the dirt falls through and the rocks end up in a pile at the bottom. I have an idea in my head of how to build it, I just wanted to see some examples before I started. I tried doing several searches but I couldn't find those old threads.

Here's a picture of my screen.I have been using it for a few years now. I have screened hundreds of yards of soil with it. I did make it portable so that I can move it around. I do have pictutes of my portable screen but not on this computer. Later I'll post a picture of my portable screen. This screen is easy to build. A few 2x6's and 2x4's and a piece of heavy duty chain link fence and a hour or so to assemble.

HI LB,
I think these size ones are just right for our bxs.Not to exspensive to build,and easy to repair if something does happen to it.Iwouldnt want a wooden one if i had a large loader bucket.
