Wire Panels and Accessories
They are:
- Heights: 36", 40" or 48"
- Lengths: 48", 60", 72" or 96"
- Openings: 3" x 3" or 4" x 4"
- Even stronger welds
- Hot-dip galvanized for better appearance and longer life in humid climates
- Sturdy 3/8 in. reinforcing rods added to some panels at ends, top, bottom and middle. To keep the weight down, we reduced the other internal rods to 3/16 in. but made the openings 3" x 3"
- Stronger connector/hinges (3 lengths to match the panels)
Uses for Wire Panels
- Lambing jugs. Select panel height (36/40/48 in.) according to your animal's behavior and your preferences. Hinge made with wire connector/hinges (see below item #965402.
- "Mothering-on" pens. For ewes and lambs after leaving the lambing jug. Can be made from multiple lambing jugs wired together, etc.
- Pen Dividers. PowerBilt panels (4 ft tall due to goat's ability to jump) have large 3/8" dia. rods around perimeter and through the middle to provide strength at the critical pressure points. Remaining rods are 3/16" to make panels weigh less and easier to move around.
- Creep feeding pens. See item #937001. To provide baby lambs with their own area, feed and heat lamp.
- To frame Orphan Headgates. See item #909000. Headgate fits directly into the lambing jugs.
- To connect Walk-Thru & Drive-By Feeders. See our feeder plans item #900000.
- Pen Gates. Panels between feeders act as entry and exit gates for humans and animals to pens. We connect them to the feeders with large screw-in eyebolts and 1/2" dia. metal stakes. To open, lift the stake. One end opens to allow access into a pen.
- Field Gates. 48 in. panels stop all livestock and horses. Wire panel gates, unlike steel bar gates, prevent dogs, coyotes, lambs & kids from crawling through the bars. The connector (shown below #965402) acts as an excellent hinge within the gate. Multiple panels can be interconnected to fit various gate openings.
