In my experience, if you build your pen big enough so that the corn doesnt sling out of the pen, you wont have issues with the pigs. Not saying they cant get over em, but they normally wont unless you give em a reason to. I know a guy who had red wattle domestic hogs, boar and sows, and had spotted and striped piglets. He had 4ft tall fencing. They either did their business through the fence, or the boar jumped the fence. My bet is ge was jumping.

We do this exact same thing with 48" panels and generally have no issues at all with hogs. There are a few that make it over, but not many... once they realize that the fence keeps them off the bulk of the corn, they go somewhere else.
I did shoot a big pig inside a pen last year, so it does happen... it is rare though.
