Tubular panels or wire mesh?

Two product families, two useful ways to build a livestock fence.

Rails and mesh are different

Choose your product

Tubular panels use rails and a frame. Their main dimensions are section length, height, tube outside diameter and tube wall. Portable styles also have a specific connection system.

Size and construction

Wire panels use a welded grid. Their main options are sheet length and height, wire diameter or gauge, and the mesh opening pattern. Some patterns have closer spacing near the ground.

Put the order together

Choose the construction that suits your project and animal use, then compare sizes within that family. Tube-wall gauge and wire gauge describe different things.
