[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1596310, member: 17956"] I had to add about 8000 square feet to mine, and I had to economize. I used 8' pressure treated post (concreted the post haven't leaned yet) set 2' 6" in the ground, with 5'6" out. Sat the post 6' apart, with 4 2" x 6" x 12' pressure treated boards. Ran two strands of barbed wire in the gaps of the boards. Seems to keep them from sticking their head through. it cost about $4 a foot to build. Probably important to say, I don't crowd them in this area. Area where they are worked/loaded is very close to 7' tall, and 2" x 8" boards. It was also expensive to build. Never been a huge fan of wire panels, but I have a few. I'd be much more inclined to make two passes with woven wire, nailed to wood post than I would be to use panels. Had an arena made that way for years, and it held up pretty well. [/QUOTE]
