A relatively easy and convenient way to fence small areas is to do so with pre-made fence panels. These are generally sixteen feet in length and made of welded and galvanized wire and come in several heights and styles.

Hog panels are usually three feet high (or slightly shorter) with six inch squares at the top, gradually reducing in size down to two inch wide spaces around the bottom four rows of each panel. This height is suitable for the containment of pigs.

Cattle panels are constructed of the same materials as the hog panels but are taller (generally a little over four feet in height) and have the same size (six inch) squares throughout. Depending on the producer, some styles of cattle panels may have smaller spaces (four inch) around the four bottom rows of each panel.

As with the hog and cattle panels, combination panels are constructed of the same welded wire. They are the same height (fifty inches or so) as the cattle panels but have the same gradual decrease in size around the bottom rows the hog panels have. The smaller spaces near the bottom reduces the risk of livestock getting their hooves caught in the panel.

Fence panels are perfect for temporary Fencing because of their extreme portability. Easily moved from one spot to another by a single person, they can be secured to fence posts (such as t-posts) by wire, one at each corner or between each panel. For extra security, an additional post can be placed at eight foot intervals as well. Being somewhat flexible, they can be curved for corners and can also be cut to custom lengths with a hacksaw.

Fence panels are wonderfully versatile. Besides animal containment, they can be used around gardens; in fact, a panel makes a terrific support for peas as they are strong enough to withstand the weight of the vines. Panels hooped and secured to the ground by t-posts and covered with a tarp can provide adequate, temporary housing for any type of animal. Hooped and secured and covered with clear plastic, they can also create a temporary cold frame for the gardener.

How To Select The Style Of Vinyl Fence Panel That Is Right For Your Home?

Vinyl fence panels are available in several different styles. Depending on the application that you have in mind for your vinyl fence, you will probably want to choose one of the four main types. These styles of vinyl fence panels are available in the picket style, perimeter style, privacy style, and rail style. This article will describe the main differences between these four main types of fence panels. The picket style fence is the fence that your grandmother had around a front yard. This fence is typically about 3 feet tall with vertical slats.These panels have a small opening in between the pickets. They are fastened onto rails between the posts with about six inches of the picket over the rail. The top of the pickets may be rounded, pointed, or flat. The perimeter style of vinyl fence panels is similar to the picket style fence. This type of of fence is taller with smaller vertical bars. There is a top rail and a bottom rail with the vertical bars spaced about 4 inches apart in between to the rails. This fence panel is designed to secure access to a pool area or a front yard, and still look attractive and not destroy the view. A privacy fence is the tallest of the fence panels. These vinyl panels are 6 feet at the top and are solid with no openings between the pickets. This provides a secure, private feeling to a back yard and keep intruders at bay. The vinyl panel may have a decorative design at the top of the fence. The rail style of fence panel is used to enclose large areas such as a paddock or corral. They can also be used to fence in a rural property when privacy and security are not a big issue. They are available in a variety of decorative styles and usually are not more than four feet tall. These are the main styles that you will find available when you choose to secure your property with vinyl fence panels.
