We have used stock panels to fence our property and it works really well. The panels are 5 ft tall and 16 feet long and are easy enough to work with. The only difference between a stock panel & a hog panel is the size of the grid. The common price per panel in my neck of the woods is 19.99 per panel at the lumberyard or Tractor Supply. For ...
Small U-shaped fence staples Hog rings and hog ring tool Zip ties for temporary fastening Eye bolts for skids Primer, paint and brushes Some of the tools used included: Miter saw Jig saw Circular saw Sawzall Cordless drill/screwdriver Hammer Plumb bob Tin snips Measuring tape Square We used a basic 8x8' two panel design with 10' skids for dragging.
As for hog rings not closing down tight, if the gap they leave is smaller than the fencing you are using then it doesn't matter. I use hog rings a lot for fence doors and predator skirts as shown here: The zip ties I use on the end where I want a tight no yielding connection and hog rings along the bottom where the arch and predator skirt meet.
8. Using the 1 ½ "Galvanized Fence staples; attach the cattle panels to the top of the girder. **If everything is straight, the center wire of the cattle panels should be resting in the crack of the double girder where they are joined. ** **3 per panel should suffice. Do not put a staple within 24" of the rear edge of the rear panel.
I saw at tractor supply Co that they have cattle feedlot panels. I was thinking if i buy 4 of those then cover them in chicken wire, and cover the top that it would give a safe run area for my chickens. I plan to make a 16x16 run for them. I can only own 6 and I have chose silkie mix's...

you can sorta see the extra is cut off so it covers the first square of the CP.. then cut at the curve so it lays flat. wire ties hold it down temporarily.. later the HC over the hoop and hog rings will hold it down. photo out of order, but cut the ends of the base so I can drag it with out digging in.
I’m using 3/8” inch hog rings to join hardware cloth and 2 x 4 welded wire together, it’s still loose so I think you could put chain link together with it. I think maybe half inch hog rings would be good for the cattle panels
Cattle Panel Hoop Coop. We use an 8.5'x8.5' cattle panel hoop coop to house our 4 Plymouth Barred Rock hens, Red, White, Blue, and Pink. I have about $250 in it to build. Maybe $300. We built it on a Sunday afternoon a week before our ladies were to arrive via post.
I used the same wire (electric fence wire) that I used to wire the panels together, and fed it through the 2x4 and around the edge of the cattle panel. This will be the bottom of the hoop and the 2x4 will sit on the ground tying the ends together. I then grabbed some 1x4 I had laying around.
