I like a round pen . A 80 ft . seams to work well , plenty of room and no corners for a hog to corner a dog in . To  put one up is easy , Put a stake in the center and cut a rope the diameter you want ,put a stick in the end of the rope and scribe the ground for the post and put up your fence. It takes aprox. the times the circumfince  in panels to cover it . I put post every two to three  feet. HUNT 'UM UP!!!

Mine is maybe 50-60' wide by 150' long and is sometimes to big, but times to small. I just wish i had trees in it. Im plannin on fencing bout 4ac in with trees and switch cane for them burrow up in. But im gonna put a smaller catch/holding pen (15x15) to make it easier to work 1-2 hogs at a time instead all 6 at once
