The Best Hog Wire Fence Panel Sizes for Every Type of Property

Choose the Right Hog Wire Fit for Your Fence Project

Big Yard or Small? Hog Wire Has You Covered

Whether you're fencing in a cozy city yard or corralling livestock on a 20-acre spread, panel size makes a difference. Go too tall, and your fence overwhelms the space. Go too short, and you might as well leave the gate open. Hog wire fence panels come in multiple heights and widths—each with its own perks depending on your property type and fencing goals.

The Fence Height Rundown

Let’s talk panel heights:

• 3' high: Perfect for garden borders, small pet enclosures, or keeping toddlers out of flower beds.
• 4' high: The go-to for backyard fences and decorative fencing that still sets a clear boundary.
• 6' high: Ideal for privacy, larger dogs, and keeping deer or goats where they belong.
• 8' high: Ranch-ready. Great for vineyards, commercial properties, or fencing that doubles as a visual statement.

Pro tip: Taller panels also help when you’re dealing with slopes or uneven terrain—less patchwork needed.

Framed vs. Unframed: Know the Difference

A framed hog wire panel is like the little black dress of fencing: polished, reliable, and never out of style. It adds rigidity and looks finished—especially when paired with cedar or treated lumber. Unframed panels, on the other hand, are flexible (literally and figuratively). They're perfect for DIYers who want full control over framing, sizing, and layout. They're also lighter and easier to transport if you’re doing a big install solo.

BarrierBoss Custom Sizes: You Dream It, We Cut It

At BarrierBoss, you’re not stuck with big-box dimensions. Need a 72" panel to fit a weird corner? Want 30 linear feet of unframed panel with 2"x4" mesh? We make it easy. Just tell us the size, style, and coating you want, and we’ll make it happen—no weird workarounds or jigsaw puzzles required.

Orientation Matters: Horizontal or Vertical?

Looking to channel that modern farmhouse energy? Go horizontal with your panels—it creates a sleek, low-profile silhouette and pairs beautifully with wood framing. Need max coverage or slope adaptability? Vertical layouts offer height and structure, especially in rural or animal-heavy applications. Bonus: vertical install can often handle heavier loads without sagging.

The Right Size Makes All the Difference

A well-sized hog wire panel is the secret sauce of a good fence. It means fewer gaps, cleaner lines, and way less frustration during install. Whether you’re fencing chickens or wrapping a vineyard, BarrierBoss has the panels, sizes, and advice you need to do it right—and look good doing it.
