That was on here...I tried to search.
Someone took the regular hog panels and welded channel iron on the outline and some cross members...then just connected them with rebar through some slots on the end. It just sat on the ground and the weight and connection was enough to keep it upright.
That ring a bell to anyone?

Tractor Supply carries feedlot hog panels for $25 . Nice because they are 16' long, and 34" high. 4 gage verticals and 5 gage horizontals. Wire them to T-posts, or overlap and secure with Uni-strut channel and nuts/washers.

Wire them to T-posts, or overlap and secure with Uni-strut channel and nuts/washers. It's driving the T-posts that's a pain. And also moving around those flimsy 16' panels. Once they are reinforced with the frame they are nice and easy to move around with 2 people...and truly portable with a trailer or longbed truck.

Have you priced hog panels..?. Plus adding rebar or t posts lately? We do 30x30 pens and plenty of room for a feeder and protein feeder... 12 panels to make a 30x30 504 dollars.....Also the panels are 42 dollars.. I misspoke... As well you can always move them or take them with you when of if you leave the lease... Our first 4 pens were made in a circle with 12 hog panels.. after rebar..tposts etc they came out to 420 dollars..not including our labor.... Plus who wants to pull all that crap up if you lose the lease..??
