Oct 5, 2011 · Overlap the panels on each end by one square. Also make it round using 8 or more 34" hog panels. We made three pens on our place (all feeders are penned now) and my dad and cousin decided they were just going to butt up the panels end to end to gain a little more size.

Sep 29, 2023 · Haven't had any getting into a pen with hog panels. If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if …

Sep 29, 2023 · Input on the easiest way to do it is much appreciated!! Going to put up 10 panels, they are 16' long each, so this is my train of thought, please chime in on better ways to do it. Each panel 16' long X 10 equals 160' - 6" per panel overlap = 60"/5' - 160' = 155' circum...

But, hog panels are used to exclude hogs/pigs from eating / taking over the feed area. More pigs coming to the feeder, less deer will show up. I've only had one or two cows get into a feed pen made of 34" hog panels, most folks use the 50" panels to keep cows out & cut down a couple panels to make deer access easier. They too will exclude pigs.

Jul 19, 2012 · I've used horse, cattle, combination and hog panels ranging from 60" to 34". The 34" hog panels have worked good for me as long as you build them big enough to contain all corn/feed inside the pen. IMO, height didn't play as big a part as building the pens large enough so that no corn/feed ever gets outside of them.

Nov 24, 2022 · As you know hog panels work but I usually just go with 50" cattle panels and cut a couple down for jump gates, overlap ends, t post on each end and 1 in middle of each section and wire them up really good.

Jul 23, 2020 · I use 34" hog panels. 10 panels would be the very bare minimum, arranged in a circle (or close to) , 12 up to 20 panels = better, most of the ones I've built 14 - 16 panels. Overlap the panels by one square wire together. T post where panels overlap, panels tied to T post in at least 3 places, one T post between each, making T posts approx 8 ...

Hog panels and a couple strands of barb wire around 3 pens, Maybe 1 pic of a turkey inside in 5 years. But they will travel by and pick up the few kernels that make it outside. Same.

I use hog panels and make it round. I pick the spot I want the feeder then drive in one T-post to start. I use concrete wire ties and wire tool to speed the build up. I then tie the first panel to the T-post. I then lay the rest of the panels in a circle shape or close to it. I then wire all the panels to together and overlap one spacing.

I built mine from 2 hog panels. I haven't used the string to hold the door open. I have loaded the front of the door with corn and at the inside of the trap door and center of the trap. Those I've caught push the over lapping door open to get at the corn inside. More often they eat the corn at the front of the door and don't venture through the ...
