I had been hunting for this...
I had posted it earlier and couldn't find the URL for it...
This lady did a whole hoop house like thing with those cattle panels....
I really like the idea...
Would be GREAT for a slue of Morning Glories, Sweet Peas, Hyacynth Beans, etc type plants..

Cattle Panel Hoop House

Oh, now that's cool Weezie! Hmmmm....I could use one of those too. I've got the perfect place for it.

If you do a GOOGLE SEARCH, and type in
CATTLE PANEL HOOP HOUSE..... you'll get some good
pictures of some hot houses, chicken coop types w/frames that you can just pick up and move.
I had alot of fun searching for it tonight..

Thanks Weezie, those are really interesting. Darn, it makes start thinking of another project to put on my "to do" list!

Wow--this is what I have been looking for. Do these panels come in one piece all sodered together and you just have to bend them to make the arbour?

And are they difficult to bend?

They're pretty long if I remember correctly,
They can be up to 20ft long I thought..

Do you have a local feed store or farm store
near you?
You might be able to get a peak at one there..
*Mine is at my local Tractor Supply store*

Do the panels come in a roll so you can fit them in a truck or car?

~Melissa in Canada

*first Melissa, just cleared up the stuff,
that didn't have a direct route to something on your post*

Second, they should fit on a truck, pick up,
trailer...but they *cattle/hog panels* are panels.. flat...
*(I do think you could buy some kind of fencing
that would go around your garden, that would be on a roll, that might be heavy enough and bendable enough that you could do the same thing, you'd have to check the gauge of the wire)*

I would be doubtful of a car..
but maybe a mini~van you can pull the seats out of or flip them all down...

I do believe they come in a assorted sizes, lengths.. *to fit your needs of animals and space*

Do you have one of those stores near you???

Hi Weezie

Thanks for fixing my post...

I live next to farm country so I'm going to drive around to suppliers and see what they have for various types of animals. I only have a small car but perhaps I'll find someone who will deliver them to me.

Thanks!
