Why use welded wire for gates

instead of wood or steel bars?

There are many sites in which a movable

physical barrier is essential.

Wood is cheap. But it is heavy—and

prone to breakage and rotting.

Steel bar gates are strong but heavy and

expensive. Many don’t stop lambs, kids or

dogs. And painted steel rusts. So we only

use them when their strength is essential.

But when a less-strong barrier will

work, the lower cost of welded wire panels

makes them an attractive alternative to us.

Low-Cost Wire Panel Gates

Premier’s welded wire panels can fill a variety of sheep/goat farm and ranch needs. They’re escape-proof

(even goat kids), are easy to install/move, and make ideal temporary barriers and pens. We secure panels

with a Linking Stake and 2 Lag Bolts.

History…

Long ago we became disappointed by

farmstore welded panels. Those in our

area were intended for pigs and/or cattle

(and still are). And the welds soon broke

and became a danger to man and beast.

Now we have panels built for us

specifically for sheep and goats.

In 2007, we upgraded the design of most

panels to provide more rigidity. This

makes them less “floppy” when carried.

Our PowerBilt Panels are the upgraded,

more rigid design.
