    Diameter of a 10 panel hog pen?

    I need to know the diameter before I start clearing the ground. It will be 10 hog panels overlapping one square to secure a t-post between them.

    circumference divided by 3.14

    assuming a 6" overlap, you'll have a 150.5 foot circumference
    150.5 divided by 3.14 is 47.9 feet

        How long are the panels? 16'? You have to know that first.

          Yes. Standard hog panels. From tractor supply.

                By my calculations....10 x 16' = 160' -5' (6" overlap per) = 155' / 3.1416 = 49.338'

                      153.33' / 3.14 = 48.8' diameter

                      Squares are 8 inches as far as lapping goes.

                        Don't make it too big or it will take forever to shovel all the poop out of it.

                        Also make sure you build it level or it will hold water.

                          Now that’s a good problem to have.

                            That's why I build odd shaped traps, no math!
