Five or six years ago we built a second round pen panels with <a href="http://roundpenpanels.kickoffpages.com/" rel="nofollow">cattle panels</a> in <br /><br />a different field. It looked very spiffy. The first time we used it was at a clinic, where an out-of-control novice dog ran <br /><br />one of the sheep into a panel. Its neck broke and it had to be put down (fortunately, one of the clinic attendees was a <br /><br />vet). If that sheep had been run into wire fencing I'm sure the damage would have been minimal Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-40156983326825997472014-05-24T00:24:26.235-05:002014-05-24T00:24:26.235-05:00I use the hog panels with 4x4 squares, still 4 x 1...I use the hog panels with 4x4 squares, still 4 x 16. I'm using them as lattice inserted into wood and galvanized tin fencing. When I lived in San Antonio, Gardenwille used to sell tomato cages very similar to yours, except the edge squares were cut in half and rounded into a circle and each panels circles were brought together with a 18 guage wire going down the center of the side circles to hold together.<a href="http://www.ranchsupply.com/1-66-victory-cattle-panel-10.html" rel="nofollow">cattle panels</a> I bought for of them and have had them for years and are still in great shape. They fold into one piece for storage. <br />John Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11492497517229632930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-54225359013968763022011-06-05T12:43:07.249-05:002011-06-05T12:43:07.249-05:00Stopping by from A Diva's Garden.

Now I know, lol. I love the arch. Can't wait to see the beans growing over them. Looks like I'm going to get lots of ideas from you.Rhonda Gales https://www.blogger.com/profile/10237938674910908032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-90373360223411836952011-06-01T12:08:56.132-05:002011-06-01T12:08:56.132-05:00That archway is to die for, Jo!!

By the way, have you heard of any farmers wanting to strip down their barns??? We found a guy on Craig's list selling barn boards, but would prefer to get them from your neck of the woods, either for free (!) or to buy them. I want to know where they come from!!!! What a great excuse to come and visit you guys!@Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-7731671780548398582011-06-01T07:55:13.187-05:002011-06-01T07:55:13.187-05:00Love that archway, can't wait to see the beans...Love that archway, can't wait to see the beans growing up it.:)Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-61186291593968138772011-06-01T06:24:13.291-05:002011-06-01T06:24:13.291-05:00Very nice!

Hubby must be eating his organically grown oatmeal to do such a good job of bending them though. They are stout! The archway into your garden is going to be gorgeous. Don't forget to post pictures of that!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
