Round Feeder Pen ?

[T-Bone]

Ok math people I suck at math and want to make sure I am correct. I am wanting to make my feeder pen round but not sure where my center point will be. I have 8 16ft hog panels and if I am figuring correctly 40ft should be center of the pen?? I plan on putting a stake in the center and then a rope to get my circle. I figured it 128ft and divided it by 3.14?? I will probably adjust for some overlap, just want to get the formula correct first.

Thanks

40' will be your diameter, meaning that 128' of hog panel will give you a 40' round feed pen, so it will be 20' to the middle.

I thought 40 sounded a little big, so once you figure diameter divide that by2?

[bearkat2004]

yep
Diameter = Circumference / Pi
Radius = Diameter / 2

When you have overlap on the panels to make the pen secure and not flimsy, it will be a tad smaller than that.

thanks for the info guys, at least I was on the right track just did not have all the steps.
