Cattle Panel Fence Build Part 1

[@rebekahpowell8489]

God bless you, I had to wade through so many garbage videos to find this actual good one on how to install this.

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Thank you for your kind words! So glad that you found the video helpful! God bless you and your family as well 🙏🏼

[@quailjailss]

Thanks fir making this. Never worked with cattle panels before so I found this very helpful

[@brettmartin764]

Seeing this done is SOO helpful. Working on my cattle panel fence Saturday. Thanks for showing how it’s done :)

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Hope you have a great day of progress working on your cattle fence on Saturday.

[@ginaland411]

If you’re gonna do it, do it right...I try to follow the same philosophy! Thanks for sharing...i am putting up a fence for a garden and wasn’t 100% sure how the clips work.

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching.

Planning on using cattle panels to layer over an existing barbed wire fence to keep my dogs in.

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

That will work! I hope this video helps. We have used cattle panels to build a large dog pen as well and they work great. Much cheaper than chain link fence pens. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the video and tips.

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

You are very welcome! Stay tuned for many more up coming videos that are in the works. We will be putting out 2 new videos a week for the the next several weeks. Thank you for subscribing and following our farm!

Great video

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Thank You for watching! More projects to come in the near future!

[@keiththompson2289]

what tool do you use to crimp the hog rings?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

@@keiththompson2289 Hi..great question. Tim used these Spring Assist Hog Ring Pliers. He bought them at our local tractor supply at the time. They are designed to attach the hog rings to the fence making it less of a hassle. Should be able to find them at your local home improvement store..like Tractor supply where Tim got his.

[@davidhein5679]

Did you put in all the T-post first and how far apart did you put your T-posts?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

If I remember correctly the t-posts had to be spaced with one at 8ft and the next one at 7’4ft and then 8ft again and so on to line up with the up the vertical lines on the panel. If you wanted to just space them at 8ft, that would be ok too, but once in a while, you’ll get a post that will be in the middle of a square instead of lining up with the vertical wire. Thank you for watching

[@AlpineWarren]

How do you put the hog rings on? And what size did you use? 3/4"?

[@annathomashowells7467]

Have you used those t-post clips for panel fencing for hogs? I know the clips the t-posts come with don't hold up to my American Guinea Hogs rooting and pushing

[@steventurner4028]

Great fence. What size hog rings did use sir ?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

When you go to the farm store, there will be three different sizes. Hog Rings, shoat rings, and pig rings. You will want to get the box that says Hog Rings. I don’t remember if there is a number on each different type of box, but the box that says hog rings is what you want. The pig rings and the shoat rings will be too small. I hope this helps.

[@steventurner4028]

Thank you sir

[@KB-sl3du]

Do you have a gate to let the cattle in/out, wondering what that looks like?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

We do. Sorry for the late response here. So the gate you can see what it looks like in the cattle fence video part 2. Cattle Panel Fence Build Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2Pdmmtmr7Rjorc

[@stevenjewell460]

How to you creat tension on the panels so they aren't loose?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Please watch my Cattle panel Fence Build Part2 and I explain how I stretched them tight with my 4wheeler.

[@TexasRedneck]

How do you know what size Tpost you need?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

Cattle panels are 48 inches tall. So you generally want your T post to stand about 50 inches above the ground. And you want to drive your T post into the ground anywhere from 16 inches to 24 deep. I believe I used 6 foot tall T post, which means I was driving the post into the ground about 22 inches. You may be able to get by with 5 & 1/2 foot tall T posts also.

[@TexasRedneck]

@@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm Thank you! That's what I was thinking, getting the 6ft tposts. I'm in Texas and we have the black clay soil. Did you use a manual Tpost pounder or did you get a motorized one?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

I always just use a manual T post driver. I also built a half mile stretch of Barbwire fence on that farm and I manually drove every T post. Thanks for watching and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

[@TexasRedneck]

@@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm Was wondering how much they would be needed. I'm about to move to 10 acres and needing to get some fencing up for our dog and then some goats. Thank you so much for your help!

[@dont_blame_me_youre_wrong]

where did you buy you D post clips?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

If you mean T-Post clips, I bought them at my local Farm Store but you can also buy them here amzn.to/3r0LeLW

[@Bekdog95]

How far apart are your t-posts?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

If I remember correctly the t-posts had to be spaced with one at 8ft and the next one at 7’4ft and then 8ft again and so on to line up with the up the vertical lines on the panel.

@@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm Thanks!

[@Sparkchaser1]

They make a tool for those t post clips

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

I mentioned in the video that I did buy the tool made to install these fence fork clips. But the problem is that the squares on the cattle panel are too small for the fence fork tool to work correctly. The tool will work just fine on a Barbed wire fence where the wires are spaced further apart.

[@soinda87]

How much did this cost you?

[@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm]

It cost me a little over $800 for the cattle panels and T-Posts. I can’t tell you how many hog rings I used but they are around $3 or $4 a box. Cattle panels in my area are $24.99 which is a little higher than they were a year ago. and 6ft T-Posts are $3.79 apiece. I hope this helps.

[@soinda87]

@@VanLeeuwenFamilyFarm thank you so much.

[@angelaholley7809]

Thank you! Planning to try a dog fence with these.
