DIY Grizzly Screen Rock / Soil Separator Time Lapse, Don't Make The Same Mistakes I Did!!

This is an updated video from our other channel ‪@DeathTollRacing‬. We are in the process of moving all our homestead type videos to this channel.
I build this rock separator (aka grizzly screen) from 3x3x.250 angle for the frame and 2x2x.250 for the rock separator bars. I then used a couple of used / left over I beams for a skid.
I made the top of the screen (looking at it flat) 10' x 10'. In retrospect, I should have made it 6' 9" tall by 10' wide to save on materials. I also should have just made it slightly flatter than I did. The material moves a little too fast down, and will carry dirt with it.

making a grizzly out of salt sander screens.Thinking about 78 inch tall 2 foot in the front just big enough to get my bobcat in to get the screened dirt. Very nice build!

[@FancyAsFarm]

That’s a good idea! Yes don’t go to tall. It’s one of my regrets on mine. It was also wasted material since I pretty much only use the bottom 3/4 of it.

Can you just put a wedge underneath the front to flatten the angle out? Maybe stick a log or something under the front side?

[@FancyAsFarm]

Absolutely!

love it. very nice.
Can u also put the cost of material alonside , very helpful

[@FancyAsFarm]

Thank you! That would be tough since the price fluctuates like crazy.

Hi nice vid perfect length. What was approximate cost of the steel?

[@FancyAsFarm]

At the time, it cost me 450. I think now it would be triple. Definitely would put some effort trying to find a used one at today’s prices. I also should’ve made it shorter and less steep. It would have saved steel.

What angle did you make yours?

[@FancyAsFarm]

I’m pretty sure it was 60*

[@Kaipomansinon]

How much did this cost you?

[@FancyAsFarm]

I think at the time the angle was $40 each 20’. I’m guessing currently it’s close to double that. The rest of the metal is salvaged. If I were to do it again I wouldn’t make the top as big to save material. It’s not necessary. Maybe $500-$700 into it 3 years ago.

Yup too tall at least you notice it
