How do you build cattle fence?

Answer 1

The basic premise of cattle Fencing is to plant posts in the ground and then attach some type of rail or wire to the posts. Posts can be wood, steel, or even plastic. Steel pipe can be put in concrete then strung with metal rods or cable and it will last decades. Wood posts are planted by digging a hole then tamping the dirt around them. Metal staples are then used to tack the wire to the post. For corrals you can use large nails to nail planks or rails to the posts. Steel posts are driven with a heavy metal pipe then you use a special metal clip to attach the wire. When stringing wire a fence stretcher, like a specialized ratcheting jack, is used to tighten the wires.

Answer 2

You will need to be proficient at welding and using a cutting torch in order to build a cattle panel. You will need to take measurements as to how tall and how long you want the panel to be, whether it'll be a free-standing panel or not. It also depends on what size of pipe you want to use.

Ultimately, it's probably better to buy pre-made cattle panels instead of wondering and learning how to make your own.
