A note on opening size and wire diameter

This product is a rail-type cattle fence panel. The panel has a rail number, panel height, post size and rail size.

1. Define the application first

The source describes the cattle yard panel as a way to move cattle safely and smoothly toward the race. It separates the operator from the animals, which reduces stress on the livestock. Typical uses listed for this corral panel include:

• Rounding up cattle or sheep in the field
• Penning calves
• Horse runs and arenas
• Perimeter fencing
• Livestock yards for horses, cattle, cows, sheep and goats

The panels are described as easy to set up and take down. That makes them a good fit for temporary or reconfigurable yards. If you need a permanent fixed fence built a different way, confirm with the supplier before ordering.

2. Choose the duty level: types of cattle fence panel

The specification offers three types: light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty. The published table lists these post and rail sizes:

The sizes appear in order from light to heavy duty. The smaller sections (such as 40x40mm RHS posts) sit at the light-duty end, and the larger sections (such as 89mm OD or 60x60mm RHS posts and 97x42mm or 115x42mm rails) sit at the heavy-duty end. The table does not clearly show which post goes with which rail, so confirm the exact post and rail pairing for each type when you request a quotation.

How to choose: decide how much animal pressure the yard will take and how often it will be handled. Then ask the supplier which duty level fits. Choosing the heavier type does not guarantee a particular strength. The specification does not include load or impact test data.

3. Select rail number and height

All three types come in the same rail and height options:

• 5 rails, 1600mm
• 6 rails, 1700mm
• 6 rails, 1800mm

Pick the height and rail count that suit the livestock and the handling task. The source does not say which height is best for a given breed or animal size, so base this on your own operating needs.

4. Plan panel length

Listed lengths include 2.1m, 2.2m, 2.5m, 3.2m and 4.0m, with other lengths marked "etc." Panel length affects how many panels and connections your yard layout needs. Confirm any non-listed length with the supplier.

5. Compare surface treatment options

The specification lists two finishes:

1. Fully hot-dipped galvanized
2. Pre-galvanized pipe, then anti-rust spraying

The product description also mentions hot-dip galvanizing combined with electrostatic powder spraying. It describes the hot-dipped galvanized surface as suitable for long service outdoors. Because the finish options are described a little differently in different places, confirm in writing the exact coating process for your order. No specific coating thickness or service life figure is given.

6. Check connections, gates and kits

Listed kit and design features include:

• 2 lugs and pins per panel kit
• Welded U and L lugs for connection
• Joint pins supplied for quick installation
• Optional cattle panel gates: cattle gate in frame, double gate, man gate and side gate
• 360° welding for a tough structure
• No sharp edges, to help protect cattle and cows from injury

Work out where your layout needs access points, and choose the gate types to match.

7. Buying cattle fence for sale or wholesale: what to send

The supplier FAQ says the specification of the fence is what's needed for an accurate quotation. A useful inquiry includes:

• Duty type (light, medium or heavy)
• Rail number and height
• Post and rail size
• Panel length and quantity
• Surface treatment
• Gate types and quantities

Other terms stated in the source FAQ:

• Customization: available when you provide specifications or drawings.
• Samples: free samples are possible, but the customer usually pays the freight.
• Delivery: usually within 15–20 days. Customized orders may take longer. Production time is stated as 12–15 days for one container. Treat these as typical figures, not a commitment, and confirm them for your order.
• Payment terms: L/C, D/P, D/A, T/T (with 30% deposit), Western Union, PayPal, etc.

When this cattle fence may not apply

• You need a wire mesh fence specified by opening size and wire diameter.
• You need documented load ratings, test reports or certifications that have not been provided.
• You need heights or rail configurations outside 1600–1800mm and 5–6 rails. Confirm whether this can be customized.

Summary

To choose a cattle fence panel, start with the application. Then choose the duty level, rail count and height, panel length, surface treatment, and gates. Send these details to Hebei Dunqiang Hardware Mesh Co., Ltd. for the Cattle Fence product, and confirm the post and rail pairing, coating process and lead time in writing before you order.
