    Deacon, That's a great idea. Not familiar with hog wire. Did you cut the pieces to length for each side, or does it bend that well? How did you attach the wire to the pallets? Is that shrink wrap or regular plastic?

    Google for "hog panels". You will also find cattle panels, but the spacing is bigger (bigger holes between wires) and the cattle panels are taller.

    We used to bend hog panels around a 55gal drum and then connect to a calf hutch. They bend OK, but works best if you have something to help hold it (clamp it) in place while you bend the other end.
