Landscape rake tine spaceing

[notamustang]

I am thinking of building a landscape rake. It will be 5' and have gauge wheels. So what I am wondering how many tines do I need to buy? Thanks Steven

The tines sold by Agri-Supply (part # 33913 @ $2.99 each) are 1" wide and they should be spaced 2" on center. That's how I spaced mine and I based it on looking at manufactured landscape rakes. The Woods rake I had in for repair recently used this spacing.

BTW, buy the 2 hole tines. They are easier to mount and keep from twisting.
