If you go to a place that builds commercial fences. Tell them you want to buy a scrap section of Industrial grade galvinized link fence. You DO NOT want anything lighter. Next determin the width drag you want. Six or eight foot fence are very common sizes. You want the "drag" to be almost a 2x3 or 2x4 ratio. I have built two of these and the bigger one is 6x 10 feet and is commercial fence. It drags true and straight and does one bang up job doing dirt on lawn leveling and gravel drives too. The smaller one made out of cheep fence does not track true but it is good for really tight work spaces. At the scrap yard I got hold of two pieces of 2 1/2 galvinized angle when they were modifying the power line towers. This stuff is more than 40 years old and there is not a speck of rust on it. Did a lot of drilling about 3 inches apart and used eye bolts to make little links. Works great. You want one front and back. Used 3/4 black pipe to make a hitch assembly for it. You want to make it so it can flex and pivot! If you need more weight throw a couple iof cement blocks on it. Last thing. You will find that it will prefer a left turn or right turn. It will fold up one way or skid all over the place the other way.
