I'm about to biuld a holding pen to get ready for the Fall hunting and trapping season, I need a inside deal on some panels. I know TSC has the panels but the prices have gotten crazy, I've checked craiglist but haven't seen any on there. If anybody knows where there might be a good deal or want to get red of some at a good price let me know...I considered field fence 2 rows high using T-post with EMT tubing slid over them giving me a 10' post and a high fence pen, I have had hogs jump out of pens before....maybe if some of you guys that have holding pens up can post a pic or 2, give me some ideas I haven't considered..

yeh buddy i just had to go buy some new ones best price i found was at the co-op feed in canton 17.95 it hurts . we had trouble with em jumping out at are holding pen on a ranch and put a solar powered hot wire around top of the panels that ended the problem.  heres an old pic of our pen it's built part wat in a pond with a trap attached, we keep a sow in it at all times and wear them boars out when she comes in heat , dont even have to bait with corn we keep a 55 gal drum feeder in it and theve allways got water so we don't have to run it but every now and then or when the rancher calls and tells us it's full of hogs |

My round pens I cut all the panels in 8' pieces and use quik lock chain links to join them together, then the t-post and trap gate like normal but mobile..load in the back of a truck and haul anywhere without a trailer...good looking trap pen there.. |
