  • Cattle/Goat/Hog/Stock Panels.

    I'm toying around with yet another idea & looking to price up the above in size 16ft x 4ft. I can easily find them in USA but not over here. Are they known by another name?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hiya BM,never seen any that wide,but in the UK we have what are called hurdles generally 4,5 & 6 foot are normal widths for sheep pen/race construction,or 8 & 10 foot for cattle.

        Since I can only guess at why you want them - how about weldmesh panels?

          OK, If you have 20 mins to spare, this is what I am looking at depending on material costs. I'm just keeping my options open. I think it could work out quite pricey but more solid than ones I have been looking at.

            Right, this is my guess!
            You want the panels to make the sides of a polytunnel 16' long. By putting them on top of your raised beds you'll have a height at the sides of 4' + the height of the beds. You'll then use blue pipe to make the roof and fit a clear plastic cover over the lot.
            How near am I?

                I thought about curving the panels over the top but I have some weldmesh panels here and it is very rigid - too hard to bend into a curve. Maybe if it had a larger mesh.........?

                  Close but when arched, the 16ft panel would be 6ft wide x approx 6ft high.

                      Do you mean 6' wide at the base? Spanning your 2'6" path? Giving you planting space of about 21" both side?

                          Ignore my first posts BM when you said panels I did not realise that was American for sheets

                          What you are looking for is weld mesh but to get it as a sheet in the length you want you need to search for ...... A142 REINFORCING SQUARE MESH or A142 CONCRETE MESH or A142 FLOOR MESH normally comes up in 16' x 4' from steel stockholders but builders merchants normally have half sheets at 8' x 4'

                            I was going to suggest the mesh used to reinforce concrete too....but maybe it's not flexible enough for you????

                              Something like .... A142m Steel Reinforcing Mesh 3600x2000mm x 25 Sheet Deal | eBay .. but probably in a smaller quantity

                              if you want thicker wire gauge than 6mm (A142) ^^ A193 is 7mm
