Is there a standard distance of separation?

There is and again there isn't, if there is to be a pit under the guard then the rails need to be less than 3 inches, or more than 4" and no pit. The rails must be low enough to the ground to allow the animals foot to reach the ground without injury and be able to extract it on its own.

Less pipe. Less welding. I can see how they got there.
