10ft Continuous Fence Panel, Bare Metal 4 RAIL

They look similar and do different jobs.

Corral panels are self-supporting and freestanding. They make a pen you can move and stand on their own feet.

Continuous fence is not freestanding. It clips to posts you set and makes a permanent line. Fewer posts, fewer joints, and a straighter line over distance.

A pen, a round pen, or a temporary run wants panels. A pasture boundary, a lane, or a driveway frontage wants continuous fence, because you are not going to move it and you do not want a joint every ten feet.

If you wanted the pen, leave this page. Use the panel catalog (/catalog/panels) or the corral-panel guide (/guides/horse-corral-panels).

20 ft or 10 ft. Twenty foot for almost everything. The 20 ft sections are substantially cheaper per running foot than the 10 ft.

Five-rail works out around $9.80 a foot in 20 ft against $15.50 in powder-coated 10 ft. Four-rail around $8.00 against $12.50 in bare metal.

The 10 ft sections earn their place on ground the long ones cannot follow: tight curves, broken terrain, or a short return where a 20 ft section would overshoot. Most jobs are mostly twenties with a few tens where the line bends.

Four rail or five rail. Same install. Different openings.

Match the openings to the animals and the way the line will be used. Rail spacing in inches is not printed on these SKUs. We do not invent it.

The steel is 14-gauge either way.

The published install sequence. This is what is written. Nothing else.

1. Name the job. Permanent line or a movable pen. If it is a pen, stop. Order panels.

2. Walk the line and mark it before steel comes off the trailer. /installation (/installation) writes that almost everything that goes wrong goes wrong in the layout. That page is a pinned-pen page. The walk still comes first here, because the next step is posts.

3. Set the posts before the panels arrive. Shop FAQ: getting the post spacing right first is the difference between a straight line and one that follows the ground in a way you will notice every day.

4. Budget roughly one post per joint plus ends and corners. That is the published count. A spacing in feet is not written.

5. Order clips as their own line. They are 10-gauge for 1-1/4 inch pipe. They are not in the panel crate.

6. Clip the welded sections to the set posts. 20 ft on the long run. 10 ft on tight curves, broken ground, and short returns.

The four steps on /installation (walk, mark, pin, hang) are for pinned pens. Pin and hang do not apply to this fence. Continuous fence does not pin to the next panel. It clips to a post.

What /installation does not write for this job. How deep the post goes is not written. How many bags of concrete is not written. Clip count per panel is not written. Clip torque is not written.

/installation writes 24 in into concrete for shade shelters, mare motels, and hitching posts. It writes no footings for corral panels and round pens. It does not write a depth for continuous fence. We do not borrow the 24 in number.

If a product carries a roof or takes a pull, that page says it gets a footing. Continuous fence is not on that list. Confirm the post, the hole, and the concrete with the order.

Posts and clips are extra. The panel price is the panel.

Clips are 10-gauge for 1-1/4 inch pipe and sold separately. Posts are in the hardware category.

The clip SKU name includes a 1/4" hole. How many clips a panel takes is not written.

The hardware aisle lists 8 ft posts in 1-5/8 and 2-3/8. The fence schema name includes 1-1/4". Confirm the post against the clip with the order. Do not guess from this page.
