Specifications
• Versatile and lightweight • Hot-dip galvanized
• Heights: 36", 40" or 48"
• Lengths: 48", 60", 72" or 96" • Openings: 3"x 3" or 4"x 4"
• Both 36" and 48" tall panels have 3"x 3" openings; 3/16" dia. internal rods; and 3/8" dia. reinforcing rods at the ends, top and middle.
• Standard 40" are made with
4"x 4" openings with 1/4" dia. rods throughout. This is our original welded wire panel design and it is still widely used on our farms.
• Use our strong, stainless steel connector hinges (p. 89).
The Premier Difference...
• Rod ends do not project past the ends and sides, so they can’t snag.
• Hot-dip galvanized, not plated.
Lasts longer, stays looking new.
• Square, small, safer openings—
3"x 3" and 4"x 4" openings stop most small animals (lambs, kids, dogs, etc). 8" long rectangles of most other wire panels entrap heads of animals.
• Deeper welds at every joint resist breakage from impact.
• Shorter—easier to move, stack and use; 16 ft and 20 ft panels are difficult to handle and maneuver.
• Easily connected by our wire connectors for 360° movement.

Why hot-dip galvanized?
All Premier welded wire panels are hot-dip galvanized after all welds are completed. This ensures a heavy zinc coating that resists rusting and extends panel life for years.
Why do we use welded wire panels for gates?
There are many sites in which a movable physical barrier is essential (gates, pens, etc).
Wood is heavy—and prone to breakage and rotting.
Steel bar gates are strong but heavy and expensive. And they don’t stop lambs, kids or dogs. So we only use them when their strength is essential.
But when a less-strong barrier will work, the lower cost of galvanized welded wire panels makes them an attractive alternative.
Why did we design our own wire panels?
Farmstore wire panels disappointed us. They lacked quality and were better suited for cattle and swine.
So we designed our Standard panels specifically for sheep and goats. Their heights and spacings meet our small ruminant needs.
Eventually we met a need for a more portable panel—PowerBilts were born. Their thick reinforcement rods around the outside and through the center, and thinner rods throughout, cut weight and add strength. A better panel for temporary pens.
