Used 10 and have protein and stand and fill corn. Seems big enough but will see.
    Would you post a pic plz....

      Unfortunately, the big storm pushed us out Saturday so we were scrambling to get back to camp. It's just a circle pen used with material I described. I actually copied a set up here on the site. Google or search here on site and should be plenty of references. In 2 weeks when I head back I will surely post a pic though.

        You could have saved yourself a lot of work by just buying the hog panels.
        The first time I put up one I overlapped the joints and tied them together at 6 places, and then put a t-post every 8'. I got lazy on the next one and put a t-post every 16', one per panel. The hogs didn't test it. Now I don't even overlap the panels and just connect them at the top & bottom. Haven't had a hog get in yet, and I've got a LOT of hogs. If they learn to plow through my weak setup I'll fix it.

          Here is a picture of how most people build their pens minus the temporary gate out front.

              I built this pen about 5 years ago before we had feral hogs regularly. It did the trick to keep cows out. Now that the hogs moved in, this upgrade was free (had the panels) and did the trick. No hogs in 3 weeks per game camera.
